Cisco factor If fledgling network-equipment suppliers expect to win market share, they'll have to steal it from Cisco Systems Inc., according to analysts. The San Jose-based network-equipment giant owns well over 70% of the Internet-router market. Cisco's high-end offerings-the 12000 series Gigabit Switch Routers (GSR)-which handle OC-12 levels of traffic and will scale to OC-48-have been well received. But until Cisco scales its products up the performance ladder, it's open to competition at the high end. "Relative to Cisco, we've got wire-rate performance, regardless of packet size, and more configuration flexibility," Juniper's Furgerson said. Although no one expects Cisco to lose its lead, there's ample opportunity for a well-placed, well-managed start-up to garner a substantial share of a market growing so fast that even established vendors can't keep up, Ryan said. Ryan, Hankin, and Kent estimate that the North American market for multigigabit routers will jump from $500 million in 1999 to more than $2 billion in 2001. A second factor is a fairly large exodus of technical experts from Cisco, many of whom have taken their skills to this latest group of start-ups.
