Frank, That was a nice article. Thanks. I am lot more sanguine about the future for these mixed type architectures than the more polarized architectures that get most of the press. Chuck

Regarding Hybrid Switches... Frank, Reading the EE article, reminded me of the early days on The VoIP thread. Each player had their solution, to what appeared to be a problem. "a new TDM-friendly transfer mode it calls “Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode,” or DTM." "Service Provisioning Interface, a carrier's equivalent to an API. Packet and circuit switching is carried out over a generic topology" "Multi-Protocol Label Switching and Border Gateway Protocol-4" "Universal Signaling Matrix capable of handling ATM and IP packets, SS7 circuits, and MGCP gateway mappings." So once more David will fight Goliath. And how are these companies going to accomplish this feat? *"by building their way to a multi-service switch through modular steps."* Got to love their spirit!
