I do not understand this rationale. Could you please elaborate?
Are you saying that the reason we are not using ubiquitous LQM is
because Cisco decided as a company policy not to interoperate with other
vendors?
BTW, I have never worked for Morning Star in any paid capacity; or I'd
be a millionare today :-). I just have an email address there, as I do
at several other sites, both commercial and non-commercial.
