Cisco has quietly killed its prime
offering for the core of enterprise and service
provider WANs and has delayed delivery of
another WAN switch by about a year.


Wow!

I'm as close to speechless as I get.

This is phenomenal news. Any of those carriers depending on Cisco for core ATM will be looking for someone else.

There have to be more than a few networking analysts re-working projections as we speak. Or, if not, they should be.

As a point of reference, this is the product Cisco's cancelling:
cisco.com
TGX 8750 web site: cisco.com

The one they're pushing back:
cisco.com

And the one they're offering instead:
cisco.com

Between today's product cancellation announcement by Cisco and last week's revelation that Ascend's ATM sales grew at 2 - 3% compared to NN's 35-45%, it's certainly clear who's winning large chunks of the ATM WAN market.

We've come a long way since this time last year.

Feels good.
