Who on earth told you that Nortel is out of the market.

I am seeing a very NEGATIVE impact of Cisco Certifications.

Nortel STP(Nortel Proprietary) is far more better then RSTP of Cisco. Voice
and data loadbalancing is excellent in Nortel swithces.

Yeah Yeah Nortel does not have FWSM and IDSM (which in my personal opinion
does have any ROI as well)
