George, <<<I guess I was thinking the 2 gig (or 4 gig) switch would be priced competitively with the MKII. >>> Dark fiber will be needed for speed at that level. Servers and storage devices are just begin to catch up with the current 1 gig speed. Demand for 2 and 4 gig will not be here for a while. What good would that do if the throughput would be only 40% with a super-fast switch. May be late 1998, this scenario may change. All IMHO. KJ

George, Would you expect the higher speed switches (2 or 4 gig) to affect latency? That is, if the latency of a 4 gig switch was the same as the Mk. II, would the higher throughput make much difference for a SAN? Would you trade off higher latency for higher speed? Greg
