In the old days, every major provider would already be talking about how they have ordered 200 of these for every major market for redundant deployment -- and are just waiting on Cisco to deliver them the gear.
Ahhh... nostalgia.

You can't go past the on/off switches on our Prockets. No boring switch gear there

Today's Financial Times in the UK carried a mutli-page (1/3rd or so of each broadsheet page) series of ads for this platform.
Ergh, the worst fluffy "now you can do this" marketing I have seen in quite a while. When will they learn that "bigger, faster, harder" is difficult to PR...

Well I for one am happy to see some new things coming into our
industry even if it is just another big router. The 40G capability
here will be of benefit to a lot of operators in resolving capacity
issues, seeing the obvious investment that Cisco have made in this
platform is very postive.
I expect this 40G capability is the tip of the iceberg with much more
to come.
Its great to see Cisco being positive about their own achievements
rather than print stupid cartoons about their competitors
and customers.

Neil.
