Talk:Core router

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am not sure why core router companies are listed on this page. Considering removing the fail list at least. Comments? --akc9000 ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 02:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe it's relevant and useful. The list of failed companies illustrates how tough the core router market is (much like the supercomputer market) and points to some pretty interesting designs like Caspian's Apeiro flow based router. Adamantios 13:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The term "core router" arose in the dot.bomb era. This article was initially intended to capture the history of this era. The list of failed companies was intended as an objective way to capture the history. I worked for two of the failed companies. -Arch dude 14:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I am fine with this then. Would you please help me with the term: Core. I know exaclty what you are talking about here. However another editor has added the term Core to the Router article, describing as it would in ref. to the ISP AS. To avoid a problem here I thought it best to create a disambiguation page, and listed it on the top of the article. Would you please confirm you agree with this. Thanks! --akc9000 ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 04:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I think your solution is perfectly acceptable. It is not what I would have done, but it works quite well. I appreciate your question, as it shows that you are looking for consensus. Please continue to be bold and fix problems when you see them. -Arch dude 13:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
