At this point, we may descend into a "what does SP mean" debate, but I
am not at all surprised that CDN providers would like the Spectrum
ASICs: they're excellent at pushing lots of bits, quickly.
Because they lack buffer-laden features (by design) a lot of SPs - say,
access ISPs - will stop and say, "What? This is a DC switch!"
