re: Cisco, Alcatel Join Infranet SuccessorI agree it's good news. The concept is required, even if the "Infranet" name was more of a marketing buzzword for Juniper than a meaningful term to describe what they are trying to acheive. I only hope that the governments, vendors, carriers and Internet providers can keep their profit based politics out of it and let the engineering community create what is required without interference.
re: Cisco, Alcatel Join Infranet SuccessorHi All: I don't know about all the politics that prevented all the vendors from getting together until now, but it sure looks like those political differences have now gotten mitigated. Overall, this is good news for the industry. - Ramesh
re: Cisco, Alcatel Join Infranet SuccessorBT applies the economic thumbscrews until the vendors capitulate. They need these guys to pursue their ultimate dream of turning IP into ATM. CAC forever!!!
