both cisco and juniper do this as well.. with phone-home full
show-tech-equivalent data collection systems... all pushed into an
internal DB ready for marketing/etc...
I'm sure other vendors (ALU/etc) all do this as well... the addition
of 'Dedicated Support Engineers' sitting in your faciltiy is neat, but
also not 'new' wrt cisco/juniper.
(I also happen to think that this is probably the method most likely
used to exfil data of interest)
