In the light of Intel's purchase of Softcom Microsystems its worth reading this article on Intel and the Internet.

"Intel Inside" the Internet.
ixix.com
Is this the future of the network industry? Is Cisco Systems destined to become the next IBM? Will Dell be making high-speed routers using Intel components?

Also Softcom and WIND.
wrs.com
Softcom Microsystems, a leading Internet accelerator company, recently turned to Wind River and the VxWorks operating system for its GigaBlade(tm) Network Accelerator system. The combination of Softcom's BladeRunner software and the VxWorks operating system enables the creation of Internet access equipment that deliver up to 50 times the price/performance of existing products. The easy-to-use, plug and play GigaBlade provides seamless line rate connectivity to any fiber backbone and can be deployed in both existing and development stage networking products. Softcom chose Wind River and the VxWorks operating system for its time to market advantage and dramatic flexibility in meeting Softcom's specific performance requirements.

JC.
