Peripherally related news:

<<The aircraft will be busy this spring and summer with a number of projects being installed and tested prior to its participation in the U.S. Air Force's Expeditionary Force experiment, EFX 98, scheduled for September 1998.

TS-3 has logged more than 1,000 flights and 6,800 flight hours and is used to test AWACS enhancements such as radar improvements, new sensors, computers and displays. Test flights are conducted by crews consisting of U.S. Air Force and Boeing personnel.>>

I don't know if this is the same platform on which Ancor's gear is being tested, but if so this release implies that it may be several more months before we might see deployment to the rest of AWACS.

I think I can answer my own question regarding whether the Sun/NTT installation is point-to-point or switched. Another quote from the same article:

"Sun, Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo engineers discovered that ALADIN applications running on the two-node Enterprise 6000 cluster were bogging down as they contended for common blocks of data on disk."

A two node cluster would most likely be point-to-point.
