There is another degree of freedom in that equation, Cisco. The Chinese networking gear has become shockingly good. performance per dollar and performance per watt they are extremely competitive with Cisco, especially in the higher end. I couldn't talk to gateway routers but their switches also have accurate documentation. Ciscos biggest edge is institutional memory, a bunch of CCxx certifications, and they are assembled in America or owned by an American company or something like that which meant security. Can any one tell a remotely interesting story as to why Cisco wouldn't aid the NSA? I mean Apple, google, etc did..
