A concrete example for CHM was accepting a Kalpana Ethernet Switch.

It is a really boring looking box, but it was the first device to use
switched rather than bussed Ethernet which radically changed the way
that you built out a LAN.
That?s debatable. In my view, the main thing that Kalpana did was successfully build a
company out of a marketing hack ? calling an Ethernet bridge by a new name and thus making
it look like a different product.
