Hi,

I heard that IBM has a IP switch IC called Rainier. Since IBM's network HW
division will be in Cisco's control, you may go through with them, as well.

As far as I know, the IP switch IC's act as ATM SF's in terms of the algorithm,
because of the fast switching it provides. Let me know if you know something
else..
