re: LR Reveals Leading Lights WinnersI'll give credit where it's due. For once, I'll say nice job to the LR team in their decisions here. I feel past PR and awards from LR were overly influenced by ad revenue, soccer comrades, or beer drinking buddies, but this time kudos.
re: LR Reveals Leading Lights WinnersCould anyone make a comparison between those 2 products. Chiaro was ready with a carrier class multi-Terabit router long time ago and it started from scratch So what is so a big deal with the Cisco CRS1???
re: LR Reveals Leading Lights WinnersThe biggest surprise I think is Alcatel for M&A. This is the same company that went through the Xylan and PacketEngines fiasco sometime back.
Hard to argue with LR's rationale through - either the folks at Alcatel are quick learners, or Alcatel is the only one left standing.
Can I see a comparison of CRS-1 to Cisco's Sup720 3BXL or Foundry's NI40G products (all released in 2004). I'm curious to know why you picked the CRS-1.
re: LR Reveals Leading Lights WinnersThe category was "Best Marketing" - not "Most Cryptic Marketing" or "Spending The Most Money On A Public Campaign That 99% Of The Audience Doesn't Understand".
In short, Covad's VOIP marketing is going to contribute to its bankruptcy for a second time.

Good summary of the year though.

You mean ... an apples to oranges comparison, right? :^)
Yeah, the NI40G will blow the CRS-1 out of the water in BGP convergence and IPv6 throughput so it wouldn't be fair at all.
