Huei-Sheng Kao, I don't believe I missed the point at all. Brocade's intention, which was clearly to present their own switch in the best possible light, doesn't change the RESULTS of those tests. Although I don't have any first-hand knowledge, I also believe that the SANbox and new SilkWorm series of switches are comparable. Unfortunately, until we get SANbox test results, we won't know for sure. My point about the KeyLabs tests is that it gives us a STARTING POINT from which to ask questions about whether SANbox has addressed the shortcomings present in the MKII series. I make no judgement about Ancor's CURRENT switch capabilities, since I do not know. Your point about Ancor's chipset advantage is a good one, as it should give them a competitive advantage in the pricing area. Craig
