Might I suggest that you avail yourself of the following threads when tying to interpret complex technology. Frank A. Collucio is highly knowledgeable and will always respond. If he is not up to speed on an item, you can be sure he knows who is and will be helpful. Subject 34780 Subject 4754 I have gone to them in the past and they have been extremely helpful. Regards C

<<Zuma Networks LightReef™ is poised to revolutionize the way that carriers, service providers, and enterprises respond to the network performance and bandwidth challenge created by unconstrained internet traffic growth. >> They think they have a revolutionary new switch-router and services package that will allow customers to not only compete, but beat their competition. <<The coupling of wire-speed switch routing with extensible network services in a scalable, open, and highly available platform makes the LightReef™ an ideal candidate for next generation fiber networks.>> They built a super-fast router with high reliability, redundancy and integrated WDM, added extensive CPU power, network services software and features (like security, VLANs, traffic monitoring, control and analysis, account billing, etc) and rolled it all into a single box that is fiber compatible. "Extensible" means they can add other services as they need them. "Scaleable" means they can add processing power through additional CPUs, slots or boxes as needed. "Open" means the architecture is not proprietary (like CSCO IOS). It is LINUX based (I think) and probably has hooks so that the customers' techs can add other tailored features if needed. <<Prospects that view differentiated network services, IP intermediation, and scalable layer 1-3 architectures as critical to success in the competitive telecommunications environment should evaluate this platform immediately.>> If you are not set in your ways, but are innovative and want to respond quickly to competition, you should look at LightReef™ right away. John, think of it as buying something with "no assembly required", but which is easy to add enhancements to. This is an INTELLIGENT box that will be functional right away and includes everything needed to get a customer up and running quickly, with a minimum of staff support. That's why Noam called it "an ISP or an ASP in a rack".
