I admit it if the perspective is to build all or a part of the WIN NT suites in a kind of a hardware or ASIC is not clear for me, the questions that I would like to raise: What version of WIN NT? is it 4.0 or beyond..? How do we expect customers will be confident enough to make this step?, Is WIN NT reliable, stable in a customized ASIC hence WIN NT would be more suitable than the general purpose hardware architecture?. Implementing standard IPv4 services on the ASIC and optimizing that still on its early stages; i.e., mostly for inter LAN routing. So, do how that will work for WIN NT?. Let's do it for multi-routed protocols in the ASIC switches and think further for the high-level embedded applications. I agree it might be a good idea if embedded NT is doing a single task such as Web caching, but not a "full fledge" switch/router. Ehab H. Hadi Northern Telecom, LTD.
