I'd love to talk about investment. Instead you would rather make predictions. How about it. As for MPOA and MPLS. You're right, they're are different, but clearly you don't understand the bigger picture. MPOA (although not strictly speaking) could be considered a subset of MPLS. MPOA is being modified by NN (look at their CSI architecture) because of its inablity to scale. CSI, since I'm sure you're not aware is NN competitive architecture to the MPLS standard in front of the IETF. So, you failed that test...but no surprise.

My role in a variety of competitive benchmark tests at DataCom, Telechoice, and a few others is none of your business. However, I know how these programs work - they are not always unbiased and should be not used as a sole source of input. So, your desire to post the results of the DataCom test and hold up to be gospel all over SI is the definition of unproductive. The authors of that test didn't know what they were testing and discussed the products as Core/Edge Swiches...what a crock. They are campus switches. Sheesh, they don't even know the difference and yet you put all this creedence into the test results.

As for the unproductive discussion, you're right any discussion with you is unproductive. I've not seen you post anything of any substance yet. You try to predict the future, you are often wrong, then you go back and find a post (after saying everything that could possibly happen) that best matches the outcome. You are worthless and if you would just shut up or go away we all could get on with investing. In the meantime I will continue to discredit you until you do one of those two things..unless of course you'd like to post some substance.

ATM technology, for those who want to get to know what MPOA really is. Absolutely nothing to do with MPLS. Here is the link to ATM Forum web site.

-OT- Here is MPLS technology. MPLS is still in the Internet Draft standard phase. What this means is that it may or may not become sn Internet proposed standard. In other words, MPLS is still quite a long way to go before becoming approved spec like ATM Forum MPOA.
To say that an approved spec for ATM only (MPOA) is a subset of yet still in-progress working draft version of MPLS is totally wrong.
