Maverick: thanks for info on Layer 3 switches from ASND. Is there any technical evaluation of CSCO's tag routinng approach vs. IP switching, publicly available? My understanding was CSCO was trying to push that approach with little sucess. Does that approach has any sigificance to carrier market? In one of the posts, CSCC products seems to (Remember reading Gajaraj Deshpande's interview after CSCO's buyout of stratacom "we beat them before CSCO, why should that change?") prefered by carriers over CSCOs, how does this position CSCO since the corporte LAN market is getting crowded and routing is CSCO's bread and butter? Good to see you back again.

Maverick, thank you so much for your efforts and contributions to the ASND threads. Could you please give me your opinion of today's Nortel-MCI OC-192 aggreement? Specifically if you know any of the following questions I am interested in: 1) Who else has OC-192 switch capability? 2) How does this agreement affect ASND's prospects for selling their own high speed products to MCI and others? 3) I see the references to Fiber Optics and WDM, but what is the transport mechanism? I don't understand this area very well. How does ATM, etc fit in here?
