And I see they don't really have an architecture suitable for SONET-mapped services...gotta be 1GbE or 2GbEs maped over OC-48 or a single 10GbE (802.11 WAN).

From http://www.cavium.com/newsevents_Nitrox2PR.htm:
"Product pricing at 1KU lot quantities ranges from $295 for the CN2130 to
$795 for the CN2560. The NITROX II Software Development Kit is priced at
$9995."
Not priced for a huge number of implementors. They probably hope to sell a few hundred develoment kits and maybe 10,000 to 100,000 chips. They don't even put their data sheets online. Maybe they're just a scam?
Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
