This article is total bunk, factually incorrect in every possible way. Take this paragraph for example: Juniper's new processors, what it will call the "Trio" family, will be built into line cards--networking components that can be stacked in a router to add capacity--that offer 16 10-gigabyte Ethernet ports. That's twice as much bandwidth as Cisco ( CSCO - news - people ) currently offers, though Cisco plans to launch its own 16-port devices in 2010. If this doesn't send you screaming, nothing will. Whoever leaks this info to these folks should do a better job of it at least. Also that new logo is uglier than sin. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
