<It's interesting to see that the tester chose to ignore the REAL ATM products in this
test. Looks to me like a comparison/test that
was paid for by FORE. Why else would the market leader (ASND) and Cisco's
leading ATM Switch (BPX/Axis) be omitted from the test>

whoever posted this is totally out-of-base.
Firstly, datacom lab test is an independent and highly respected lab owned by
McGraw-Hill. Suggesting that they were paid by FORE to look good for FORE is totally wrong and a false statement. DataCom lab, if they see this may come to the person who posted this and who knows they may ask for proof (as this is a public thread and it's misleading information that can hurt the company reputation), if there is no backup proof, the person may be asked to retract the statement or may be get sued. Too bad.
Secondly, ASND 550 and CSCO BPX are WAN switches and therefore are not able
to participate in this type of test which is LAN oriented. These WAN switches will not
be able to meet these test such as LANE and MPOA and PNNI (at this point both
BPX and ASND 550 do not support multi-peer group with fast SVC capable PNNI
yet). Datacom lab, I beleive ask for the companies to provdie their best and that's what
they provdied.
To conclude, csco lost out to the great FORE in a fair test, big time.
