This is built almost entirely using cisco routers, and at the time I left spanned the continental US, the UK (via a 64Kb/s HDLC satellite link) and Europe (via X.25), with several thousand nodes. This network was built by "engineers" to parallel the existing MIS X.25 HP network. The cisco routers made this network run *amazingly* well - so much so that the growth rate of the network surprised everyone involved, and astonished the MIS guys! In short, the hardware and software are excellent and work well, and the guys at cisco are very competent and helpful.
