QuietWon- re:SVCs Hi QuietWon, I am surprised that there is demand for SVCs as I thought that the demand was growing for IP based connectionless equipment only. Secure virtual circuits can be created out of IP based equipment, like Cisco, and they don't use any switching equipment. Switching equipment hogs the circuit, so more bandwidth is available. I guess for applications that are not very bursty this might be required, but I thought the world was switching to connectionless. I have not heard of the companies you mentioned, other than CSCO. I would have to do the research myself. I would appreciate it if you find anything to let us all know here. Thank you, and just my opinion. Jon :)
