<Fore was even farther out in front when we moved
to four switches, setting up and tearing down 455
calls per second with fully meshed traffic on four

complete the four-switch test because of a faulty
module; IBM topped out at 162.>

a small piece of extract from the above article, too bad for csco, could not even complete the simple test.

Jach,

Did you notice that CSCO was using the LS1010? This isn't a core switch (like the 8000 series BPX/Axis from StrataCom). Cisco probably felt that competing with their true core switch would put FORE and IBM to shame. Sure would have been interesting to see ASND in that competition.
