At my last place of employment, we built really huge
routers. Our
only competitor that had a product somewhat comparable to ours (and no,
it wasn't Cisco or Juniper) somehow managed to make their box so heavy
that it exceeded the NEBS standard for floor loading. They had to
reinforce the floor at their field test sites. Fortunately our product
I guess that competitor must have been Avici then?
I wonder how soon these high-end routers will start
to fall into hobbyist hands ....
