No. The BFR was the development name for Tony Li's last Cisco project
and morphed into the GSR. The processor card in at least early GSRs had
a BFR sticker on them.

Pardon, but I need to set the record straight here...  It was not by
any stretch of the imagination 'my' project.  There were dozens of folks
that had far more involvement than I did.  All I did was to help with
getting things jump started.

Just to add a bit more, I believe Tony and Michael Laor were the main
leaders in the GSR:

Whereas the BFR had a lot of Israeli work from Michael's group (as per an
Israeli daily reports - and here is the English translation):
