Let's move on to investing and making money. That's what we're here for. We should look at pros and cons, and should remember that not all people on this thread own csco stock. The question to all is this: Give your best shots as to why one should buy csco stock at this price. Please post your opinions. Please do not just say, last five yrs it was great so the next five yrs it will be. That's maybe one reason, but we're looking for more concrete facts as to market segments, competitions, LU and NT acquisitions in data world, European Telecom giants getting into networking etc. etc.

<He is correct... the paths in the switching system are established using PNNI mechanisms. Can we move on!> We had already moved on. But, to get the record straight, he is not correct. The paths in the switching system (if ATM switch) are typically established by a number of ways depending on the switch architecture. Some examples will be shared memory, shared Bus, Crossbar, multistage, Banyan, etc. The connection paths across the ATM network(s) can be computed based on topology (this topology may be part of PNNI topology database propagation).
