RE: "Instead, however, Intel is...offering what amounts to a microprocessor for wide area networks... that seems tailor-made for a fairly complex processor like the kind Intel is great at building.

It may also be one of the first places where vendors try out a much-touted technology called voice-over-IP... As such, these boxes increasingly must ensure so-called quality of service, making data seem as reliable as the phone network.

To do all that, Intel is in effect hoping to build a microcomputer for networks, a big, complex, general-purpose chip that can be slipped inside any number of networking boxes built by equipment makers."

Process Boy, the comment on voice-IP is interesting.
