  1. Not IOS though by sphealey · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Interestingly however it does not use IOS. Which brings up several questions: is Cisco going to start replacing IOS with redesigned-from-scratch (watch out for second system effect!)? Or will they maintain two routing software bases, IOS and whatever the new one is called? Will this be an issue from either a marketing or technical/CCIE perspective?

    How do they go about testing the full capacity for these? Would a customer ever know if was not quite getting full throughput?
