R. Scott Raynovich submits:
Cisco (CSCO) succeeded in generating an enormous amount of hype for today’s announcement of a new core router, and was able to raise the level of interest to a crescendo.
The bottom line is that this is an impressive and important upgrade of Cisco’s core router product, but it was not "revolutionary," as billed by Cisco and many press mavens. It is, in fact, an important upgrade in capacity to reinforce Cisco’s market position as the leader in core routing technology.
