This story has many twist and turns so follow me here
January 2004 AARnet (Australia's Ed/Research Network) chooses Procket, an strat-up router company.
June 2004 Cisco buys what is left of Procket but doesn't continue the Hardware.
Cisco figures it will be a shoe in to replace the Procket routers with CRS-1s
But Cisco forgets that the Research folk don't care to much for "the establishment "
AARNet picks Juniper to replace Procket.
But after licking it wounds over that lost Cisco's Australia team scores a bigger win with Telstra. Getting a research net is ok, but winning a major commercial ISP much better.
