A piece of NYTimes article: nytimes.com <<"There's no one silver bullet," said Bill O'Shea, president of Lucent's data networking business. "It's years and years of experience, building systems and watching how they operate" that insure reliability and avoid failures. Yet Lucent and Nortel are still very much newcomers. Only this month will Lucent begin testing its first billion-bits-a-second packet switch based on Internet protocols, which could become a true competitor to Cisco's most advanced gear. Northern Telecom, for its part, derived only $785 million of its $15.4 billion in revenue last year from data networking; it has a long way to go to be on an equal footing with Cisco. >> I thought that NN's 36170 is rated at 12.8 Gbits/sec, and slated to go to 50Gb before the year is ended. 36190 is much faster than that. Why even mention LU's 1 Gb switch. Is my arithmetic off? Apples and Oranges?
