re: Supercomm Demo ManiaNetworld + Interop had VPLS in their advanced internetworking initiative. I think the MPLS/FR forum needs to get their facts straight.
With Supercomm only a few weeks away, has anyone heard anything about Hyperchip? They used SC 2001 to demo the PBR, but there is absolutely NO BUZZ that I have heard about their appearance at SC 2003. From the fact that they are not participating in any of the demos listed in this article, should we assume that they're DOA?

I would not assume anything from participation in the demos. When you start looking at the details of many of these demos, they turn out be mostly worthless and lots of time/money.
The last time I looked (which was months ago), hyperchip was on the exhibitor list for supercomm (i.e. they had a booth).
As to hyperchip's future, I dont think they can have all that much money left in the bank. Canada could bail them out again, but they are not attracting much visibility or interest with their potential customers.
I dont think they have even done a real ( or even a fake) product launch which is strange considering that everyone else in that space has done one now.
Ciena will be showing off WaveSmith Networks Inc.GÇÖs gear along with +ëquipeGÇÖs core multiservice switch in an IP/MPLS and ATM interoperability demonstration at the Supercomm 2003 tradeshow in Atlanta next month
re: Supercomm Demo ManiaSeveral folks from Hyperchip were at Supercomm, although I don't know if they were there on company business or to network for new jobs.....6/6/03 there was a Supercomm in Pictures article on this board, and had pics of several Hyperchip people.
