Has anyone heard of E.E. Times that did a piece on the Internet and blamed Cisco routers for all the bottlenecks? They quote www.ra.net/statistics and www.academ.com/nanog as well as Craig Lebowitz and Fred Baker. I have a locally translated copy but I would be interested in seeing the original. It's on their web site if you wanna dig for it. A very sad article...
The URL is http://www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?EET19970106S0051. The first paragraph really sets the tone for the rest of the article: : A report by a federally funded networking research group here suggests : that severe Internet congestion might be linked to "routing instability," : wherein heavy traffic emanating from routers bogs down the public network. : The researchers further claim to have turned up evidence that Internet : autonomous systems supplied by the dominant maker of routers, Cisco : Systems Inc., have inherent router flaws that may exacerbate the problem. The comment at the end is pretty good, too: : Cisco routers might have IP-compatibility problems These people ought to stick to roads and bridges. Nick - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
