"Actually, I don't think that this is what the ad is getting at. It is saying that switching
scales better and gives you much greater aggregate bandwidth than FC-AL."

OK. So why did Ancor put it into their switch? Because it seemed like that's what market wanted? It seemed. Like the class 1 superiority.
I find it hard to believe that if it truly offered advantages market wanted Brocade wouldn't have tried to do the same. Instead AL has been relegated to HUBs. That's where market wants it.

They better have worked on new products for the last year and have them ready along with proof of market acceptance real soon. Like by the Q2 conf call.
