Re: Ascend GRF400

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the GRF-400 was an Ascend product
and the GRF-1600 is the NetStar GigaRouter, with some additional
developments. 

The GRF-400 is out there in networks like AGIS, NetRail, PSI, DOMINO and
Savvis. No word on any NetStar-cum-GRF1600 deployments.

Am I right?

My understanding is that the GRF-400 is just a 4 slot version of the
GRF-1600, modulo cosmetic differences, branding etc.  Certainly this is one
of the easiest ways that one can take a crossbar switch and produce a cost
reduced, bandwidth reduced midrange.
