Why are folks turning away 10G orders? I forgot to mention a couple other issues that folks brought up: 4) the 100G equipment won't be standardized for a few years yet, so folks will continue to trunk which presents its own challenges over time. 5) the last mile infrastructure may not be able to/willing to accept the competing video traffic . There was some disagreement among the group I discussed this point with however. A few of the cable operations guys said there is BW and the biz guys don't want to 'give it away' when there is a potential to charge or block (or rather mitigate the traffic as they do now). My favorite data point was from Geoff Huston who said that the cable companies are clinging to their 1998 business model as if it were relevent in the world where peer-2-peer for distribution of large objects has already won. He believes that the sophisticated peer-2-peer is encrypting and running over ports noone will shut off, the secure shell ports that are required for VPNs. So give up, be the best dumb pipes you can be I guess. Bill On 1/10/07, Brandon Butterworth <[email protected]> wrote:
