    Cisco announces today it's new 'Carrier routing system'

    It's "its," not "it's!" Sometimes I think the grammar behind this is starting to devolve... or at least I'm having difficulty parsing it now.

    I would pretend there were enough other people out there with high speeds to make this even remotely useful.

    I'd probably use it to prop open my door or somethng. Maybe set a coffee pot atop it. The problem with a Tbps router is that you'd need to feed it traffic.

    And why do we need to route this much traffic? Because over 60% of all email is spam. Because unpatched systems are getting trojans, which in turn are contacting their makers.

    Blasphemy! I mean, you couldn't possible be implying that Aston Martin's have phallic symbolism....who on earth would ever think that....

    Vanquish

    It's people like you that probably think that Joe Camel had some sort of symbolism too!

    Just a Camel

  7. It's just a PR bid. by sserendipity · · Score: 2, Insightful


    This is a just a bid for PR.

    Juniper's router interconnect product is being announced shortly, and will allow users to interconnect T640s already installed in their network - no forklift upgrade. Cisco just wants to get something in the news before it rolls out, so that they don't seem quite so much the technological also-rans that they are, in this space.

    Considering the number of delays this box's development has undergone, one can only imagine how many exciting 'Cisco features' have been left in to make this rush to market possible.
