>From March 1995 Data Communications: 14 vendors were invited to participate in its ATM Stress test and seven did participate. Those seven participate: Bay Networks Lattiscell Cisco Systems Hyperswitch A100 Digital Equipment Gigaswitch ATM Fore Systems Forerunner ASX-200 Lightstream Lightstream 2020 Newbridge Network Mainstreet 36150 3Com Cellplex 7000 Fore seems to be tgetting the high marks, 3Com seems to be second except dropping cells at high burst, DEC and Lightstream are on a second tier and Newbridge, Cisco, and Bay Network are distant away. (this is my calculation based on the test result shown in that article) Seven didn't participate Fujitsu Network Switching General Datacomm Hughes Network Systems IBM NEC Network Equipment Technologies Northern Telecom As far as these seven, nobody really know why they didn't participate except that they all are in deep trouble. Anybody would like to comment on these switches? I heard that Fujitsu is out of the North America market, GDC has seen its stock price nose dive to half of its price in two months. Another question, how about those never invited to the test? How about Loral's CPS and TRW's ATM switches, where you think they stand? PYL Those |
