Desh Deshpande's vision for Cascade was to deliver WAN switches that weren't bound to a single protocol. Cascade is known for delivering high-performance frame relay and ATM switches with high port densities to carriers, and now with the switches' support for IP, also to ISPs. Deshpande wants users on the network to feel as though they have their own personal
connection. n Millennium Forecast: Photonic switching will enable switches to be built at terabit rates. n Millennium Disturbance: Vendors and the service-provider community will make unrealistic claims in this high-growth, highly competitive market, causing user frustration and confusion.
