Then you should know that DEC does not manufacture their GIGAswitch/Ethernet. They OEM the Cajun P550 switch from Prominent. DEC has added software support for hunt groups between their new Fast Ethernet card for the GIGAswitch/FDDI and the GbE switch. Steven At 01:19 AM 11/5/97 -0800, Paul A Vixie wrote:
Does anyone know if DEC manufactures the gigaswitch itself, or is it OEM'd, and from whom?
DEC manufactures it. (I doubt if anyone, anywhere else, still has an ECL fab that can make what a GIGAswitch has inside it.)
Y'know, for a long while we've been happy with FDDI for interconnects since it was the fastest non-ATM LANish thing available and it had a decent sized MTU. But FDDI is in end-of-life and I sure am glad that DEC announced plans to build gigabit ethernet switches. <clink> here's to 10 more years of non- junk interconnect hardware.
