Cities don't want home brew, they generally want something that says Cisco on the side. Every city that we ahve recently talked to either has a Cisco Catalyst 6500 at teh core or has written a RFP to buy a switch that directly indicates a Catalyst 6500. Note, I am talking about cities with populationd of 25,000 and larger, I can't speak for the smaller towns.
