The switches really should live much longer than 3 years in the way we are using them.
We're using our current costs as a way to estimate future costs. In other words, we're not saying that we need to buy another 40-port 10G switch in 3 years. We're saying we need to buy an X-port 40G or 100G switch in 3 years, and by then, it'll probably cost about what the 10G switch cost us this time. I realize this isn't perfectly accurate, but at this point, I like the fact that it's closer to objective than subjective. I'd hate to see us get bogged down discussing what each of us predicts a 40G switch will cost 3 years from now. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
