I fail to see how using linksys's range of products is going to be comparable to enterprise grade cisco gear.  Well, 
your average consumer wouldn't be involved with a CRS or for that matter, anything that remotely resembles a CRS.  Not 
sure why you'd pull the consumer market into this marketing hype that cisco is going on about. 

:P
