Service provider spending on packet transport/switching and routing equipment is experiencing a short-term lull in response to economic uncertainty despite continued traffic growth. We expect the market to be down 14% this year compared to 2008. Long-term prospects remain promising; we anticipate ”catch-up” spending once economic growth returns. We expect this market to grow to nearly $23 billion by 2014, at a CAGR of 9.3%, with edge product sales increasing the most.
