Roy,

I see your point about using cascaded switches to create large fabrics. I still think that a linked backplane approach is better.

<<The loop saturation level is obviously based on application, but more than three or four CPU's hitting a couple of Disk Arrays and the loop is done.>>

Now that figure is a LOT lower than I expected it to be. I can see why the hub and switch guys are excited. Loops won't scale as high as most people seem to think.

Craig
