Abstract
This report examines the Ethernet switch market for 4Q06. Market shares for a
wide range of Ethernet switch vendors are provided, based both on port
shipments and manufacturer' s revenue for the quarter. In addition, port
shipments and manufacturer' s revenue are forecasted for the three quarters
subsequent to 4Q06. The data is highly segmented, both by OSI Layer (L2, L3,
and L4-7) and equipment configuration (Fixed vs. Modular), as well as by speed
(Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet). Cross segmentation is
also provided for greater granularity (for example: L2 Fixed Fast Ethernet).
