Anons,
might be notable for some of you:
CISCO as we recently discovered is pure C_A asset.
I was on a road trip when I met an IT nerd, who was complaining so hard about CISCO. Issue: They have some sort of patents or licenses to throw out their products, but these licenses for other companies are very expensive, so there is a pure monopoly of CISCO in the markets.
He told me that there is a Lithuania/Latvia based company, which made a workaround and the routing/wireless transmitting/etc. works even better than CISCO's. Guess what: for a fraction amount of $ compared to weaker/slower devices of CISCO!
If you're trying to get your company/network at home out of Clown control you might consider this post.
