Interesting indeed: In general, Kerravala said open-source routers "aren't very practical" to deploy, since they would require "a lot of custom coding" and would require a company to have employees knowledgeable in open source. "Every network engineer out there understands Cisco," Kerravala said. "Instead of vendor lock-in with Cisco, you have employee lock-in" with an open-source product.

"I'm much more old school," he said. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
