To the thread: The March issue of The Red Herring, which was just sent to subscribers and isn't yet posted on their Web site, has a briefing on networking and several discussions of C$CO vulnerabilities. The heading of the section is: Briefing/Networking: Reining in the Cisco monopoly Article headlines include: Could be contenders Venture capitalists are backing Cisco's potential challengers Chipping away at the old block As more networking technology is integrated into silicon, what will become of Cisco's monopoly? From the Table of Contents: "Juniper Networks is racing to develop the optoelectronic technology that will drive the new, universal network. Everyone but Cisco is backing it." A good state-of-networking primer included, too. A must-read Herring for this thread.
