Q&A with Cisco’s app-delivery guru, 06/18/07:  Cisco wants to own application acceleration, and says the ability to integrate WAN optimization with the QoS and security functions already in the network is one big reason why it should. George Kurian, general manager of Cisco’s application delivery business unit, presents the case.

In today's Cisco Subnet:  John Chambers says the telecoms industry is in "Phase II" and that consumers are driving service providers' deployment of advanced technologies to enable customers to take part in social networks, create wikis and share videos. Chambers also challenges his employees to cancel one business trip this quarter and use collaboration technologies instead. Brad Reese on Cisco blog says that an enhanced Cisco channel partner rollout appears to have confused some partners, and explains how NetFlow Tracker hits triple home run for Cisco VARs and their enterprise customers. Adding to Jeff Doyle on IP Routing's look at EIGRP vs. OSPF, reader Mike Morris says he prefers EIGRP, but the intelligent business decision is often OSPF. Author Expert blogger Denise Donohue asks if SIP trunks for PSTN access are ready for prime time. Cisco Subnet blogger Greg Royal says Cisco's ambition to build its brand in the consumer market has a ways to go.
