Networking giant 3Com (COMS) plans to expand its scheme to relieve network routing bottlenecks by including gear from third-party makers by next year, according to the company. The software--when used across a network layout--essentially takes data packets based on IP (Internet Protocol), the dominant communications medium for the Net, and off-loads them from overworked routing devices to local switching hardware. In doing so, the feature, called "Fast IP," takes advantage of network intelligence at the desktop and server. 3Com executives say the software offers a significant increase in network performance based on internal tests. news.com

Good article, Moonray: Analyst John Duffy at Fahnestock upgraded 3Com from hold to buy on Friday because he thinks investors have beaten the shares excessively. No kidding. Much more, and they'll have to start hauling in investors on charges of share abuse. Same article: Billimoria, who rates 3Com stock a buy, does not believe 3Com's inventory troubles will damage its market share. His firm has no performed no underwriting for 3Com or Cisco. Is that "Billy Bob" Billimoria? "We ain't performed no underwritin'".
