following up on Sitera and network processors, here's a nice little matrix and "cute" comment that might interest you: img.cmpnet.com "By acquiring Sitera, meanwhile, Vitesse added a network processor to its portfolio of physical-layer (PHY) chips and switch fabrics. But as a sugar daddy, Vitesse is not as sweet as Intel, and it lacks the networking ties of IBM and Motorola. Other than its Rambus interface, Vitesse's IQ2000 has little to distinguish itself from the competition. The company claims design wins at Quarry Technologies and Nortel, a promiscuous networking vendor that seems to be on everyone's customer list." ----- Net processor makers race toward 10-Gbit/s goal By Linley Gwennap EE Times 06/19/00, 11:09 a.m. EST eetimes.com
