Not worth the time. You're not a marketing type. Just an engineer/investor who got screwed by giving marketing too much latitude.
Let me guess. IRIS doesn't run on the 75xx or 120xx?
No, it doesn't. It does, however, fully integrate with BGP4-enabled routers -- Cisco, Juniper, Lucent, Nortel, Foundry, Riverstone, etc...
So, nothing new eh?
It's real easy when you have ENGINEER types holding the purse. You don't
Four of the five founders of Opnix (including myself) are "engineer types."
You obviously didn't have your marketing monkeys pass your marketing hype through the "reality filter." Had you done so, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
let the Marketing Types release BULLSHIT to the word. If/When they do, you fire their dumb %$$es. It's that simple. They have released
It seems someone with a marketing degree must have pissed in your Cheerio's or something. Like any other group of people, there are both good and bad within the group. Like I said, engineering and marketing usually don't mix well. We all know that. We get plenty of opportunities to flame marketing and sales people for SPAM on lists -- we probably don't need to put any more effort into it. :)

Jay, It is very amusing that you take this personally and wish to take things off-list. IMHO, if your product is truely as revolutionary to networking as your marketing monkeys would have the "know nots" believe, any discussion of it will be truely on-topic for NANOG and in will in-fact become a MUST-READ for anyone who wishes to survive in the new networking world that your company has created. If you have nothing more than marketing hype to give us, shut up. This is an informational list. We don't give a rats behind about pipe-dreams and "we wish it were a standard" protocols. We run _REAL_ networks. Nets run on "proprietary" protocols are _BY_DEFINITION_ islands and as such, NOT part of the global internet. Trademark, copyright, have your dog leave his scent on the source/roadmap of your "proprietary protocol" but until you release it to the GP so we can critique it, you're nothing more than a rainmaker to me. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
