Hello gents:

I wanted to put this out there for all of you. Our network consists of a mi=
xture of Cisco and Extreme equipment.

Would you say that it's fair to say that if you are serious at all about be=
ing a service provider that your core equipment is Cisco based?

Am I limiting myself by thinking that Cisco is the "de facto" vendor of cho=
ice? I'm not looking for so much "fanboy" responses=2C but more of a real w=
orld
experience of what you guys use that actually work and does the job.....

No technical questions here=2C just general feedback. I try to follow the T=
olly Group who compares products=2C and they continually show that Cisco eq=
uipment
is a poor performer in almost any equipment compared to others=2C I find th=
at so hard to believe.....

Thanks!

Brandon
