re: Tony Li Leaves Cisco AgainCRS-1 is just about the perfect core routing system for the next 20 years. No challenges left on this area. It was good that the Procket team gave it a through review, and finally their blessings.The engineering challenges are now on the application side (IMS, Content Distribution, Web-based IP Communication services, etc, etc).
re: Tony Li Leaves Cisco AgainWho knows more about what they are deploying? From their site, they are doing 7-8G between cities, i'm sure they aren't deploying 10G on the crs. More like 40G? any details about the 40G transport?

re: Tony Li Leaves Cisco AgainThere is no widely deployed 40G transport infrastructure between cities. It is >99% 2.5G and 10G. There have been a few "press-release" trials of 40G transponders "glued" to 10G transport equipment.
All of the major (AT&T, Sprint, UUNet, Level3) Internet backbone providers are using Nx10G pipes for connectivity between cities. The largest of these that I have seen is 10x10G (i.e. 100G) today on specific routes.
re: Tony Li Leaves Cisco AgainTony may be gone, but several ex-Procketeers are in key engineering and product management roles for the CRS, GSR and 7600. A few ended up at Juniper as well.
re: Tony Li Leaves Cisco AgainWho really cares whether he posts. No company loyalty, all about him. Rather here from a CTO that cares about who they work for and the products they bring to market. Not someone attempting to merely market themselves.
Glad to see your back in the game...
Only one of these could have freed you from Cisco's clutches...

Or a great vision and solid business plan...I smell P2Pv2 coming...
Vito is a good one, I'm sure Portola will be an industry changer with you two together...just change the world that's all we ask of you.
Ok, now all the LR trash talkers can have at it...let's see how many love/hate posts they can generate...

I'd be pretty sure he cared about Procket quite a lot, and the router they built.
Not someone attempting to merely market themselves.
I never saw him do that on the threads he contributed to here, including the one or two occasions he directly replied to my posts.
