In MAKR 18 1/8 today. Best NMnasdaq, non-ipo gainer today! Very interesting about a month or two back I posted to bring MAKR down to 18 so it could be a no brainer. Thanks to all the powers out there who made that happen!

FVCX & ntwking in general: IP vs ATM. A common misunderstanding --->

IP is used in 2 different contexts:
1) an addressing protocol
2) a transmission protocol

There is a general argument/misconception out there that IP is better than ATM. It's a half truth - IP is definitely the addressing protocol of choice, but is not so as a transmission method -- ATM is still better in the transmission world, and is not applicable to the addressing world.

Switched virtual circuits (SVCs) and FVCX -- if Cisco supposed to have SVC's, why have a few RBOC's gone with FVCX?

Simple: FVCX's SVC's handle video (a tricky thing) along with voice and data. Cisco's SVC's do not handle all 3 components anywhere near as good as FVCX
