That is my take on it and what the author of the article hints about. Cisco started in on the server market earlier this year where HP is big. HP now get more serious about networking and expand product offering. 3com is also pretty successful in China so would assume buying 3com will give HP

Don't know about doing it with vlans but the RB450G's (the gigaethernet model) and Rb493AH (high cpu powered unit) can easily handle 50+mbps without breaking much of a sweet. Have a RB450G that is pushing an average of 6Mbps and cpu load don't go over 5% but this unit don't have any vlans active

We use an RB450G as a core in a couple pops. One in particular is running NAT, OSPF, PPTP VPN, MPLS, has about 20 VPLS tunnels, and does firewalling for a couple hundred public IPs. Average throughput: 20Mbps Average CPU load: 8% On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 10:52 PM, Eje Gustafsson
