Ultimately, one has to view the Network as end-to-end meaning you have the core and the edge switches but you
also have to be involved in the on-premise CPE stuff that actually delivers the final "foot" to the desktop
application. If NT was not involved in that, it's possible to miss out on some significant opportunities due to lack of
understanding of "functionality" requirements of the backbone/edge


Excellent Point Telecomguy. I had not considered that issue. The company has to understand what is happening at every level.

By the way, Telecomguy, a few years back it was Cisco who would brag about having the "end to end" solution. By that they meant having the LAN to WAN solution. I don't hear them making that claim anymore. If they tried to argue that claim, it would only call attention to their relative weakness in optical and wireless.
