so darn pricey it's because it's so darn good. Like Rolls-Royce cars, the ones that buy them are typically not the ones that drive them, so technical arguments tend to become irrelevant.
If the VSR card was $899k, the SR card was $999k and the LR card was $1099 you wouldn't hear any complaints from me. It's the fact that Cisco is reselling optics (which is not their core business as far as I see it) at a huge markup that is bothering me. But then again, if other people want to pay a huge premium that's their problem, I'm not buying it. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
