It was in Data Communications magazine ;-)
The switch maker is Berkeley Systems. They licensed NT source and stripped it
down (I think the IP stack is one of the things they whacked ;-) to run the
switch. With the obvious exception of M$ RRAS, this is AFAIK is the only vendor
using NT as a switch or router OS.

switches understanding application level info. it was recent, maybe
network world, but i can't be sure.

Hi all,
James Glave at Wired News again. This time around I am seeking opinions
on
behalf of a friend up at Wired (the print magazine) -- concerning
embedded
NT. I couldn't find any discussion in the nanog archive, so I'm wondering
if anoyne here has any experience with, or knowledge of, embedding NT in
networking hardware - if that even makes any sense....?

router?

Thanks, all!
