"We are well aware of Vixel/Arxcel. Thanks for stoping by. Does your new switch
support public loop? Why do you think MKII in its present form is ineffective, in what
way? It's nice to have an industry insider to give us some insights. Thanks again."

KJ,

What do you think of the specs and technology given for the Vixel Rapport, Gadzoox, and McData switches? This paragraph (if correct) suggests a significant limitation:

"In contrast, switches from Vixel, Gadzoox, and McData feature backplanes in which traffic is arbitrated on and off the switch using time-division multiplexing. To calculate the capacity of these switches, users need to multiply the number of bits the bus is capable of handling at once by the speed at which it operates, in MHz. So the Vixel and Gadzoox switches, which each feature a 32-bit bus running at 33 MHz, offer overall capacity of just over 1 Gbit/s. McData did not disclose the size and speed of its bus."
