Cisco's mathematical comparison of ISR with the AVERAGE of 6 unnamed competitors with one or more unnamed appliances (to deliver multi-service functionality), is like saying your favorite team is leading in the division of 10 teams because it has won more games than the average of 6 other teams! Totally meaningless statistic! I believe that enterprises shouldn't be blind-sighted by such marketing BS and look at alternatives. Nortel's Secure Router 4134 would be one place to start, both from a price/performance and energy efficiency basis. The topic is important but I was personally insulted by the paper.
