George, "Of course it does." You are saying that if Brocade HADN'T paid for the KeyLabs test that the results of the scalability test (5.2.4) would then have shown the MKII throughput equal to the other two switches in this particular test? Or in test 5.2.1 Scalability Test Case 1 - Utilizing multiple inter-switch links, if Brocade HADN'T paid for this test, that the Ancor (and presumably Vixel) switches would then have shown linear improvements in throughput as additional ISL links were added? The only difference being who paid for the tests? I'm sorry, but that's a leap of logic I'm not willing to make. <g> I'm not disputing the real possibility (no, make that probability or certainty), that tests favoring the Ancor and Vixel switches were "conveniently" left out of the report. I'm just saying that if you take each test in isolation, are the RESULTS valid, given the testing methodology? I say they are. It says NOTHING about the SANbox switches, or even MKII switches with later firmware. Craig
