Multi vendor sourcing of many electronic parts is simply impossible in today's world. Even non-custom chips are usually single sourced. For example, even Cisco is single sourced on the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA's) it buys from both Xilinx and Altera (the parts have similar funtion but are not interchangable) and believe me, they use lots of them. The days of building products out of ssi & msi logic parts that are available from multiple vendors are long gone. That's part of the trade-off of getting more powerful chips. Those same chips are what make complex products like switches & routers technically and economically possible.
