Cisco’s Sales Will Drop as Much as 17%, Chambers Says | www.bloomberg.com
Cisco's strengths and challenges for their first fiscal quarter and beyond can be further defined when we compare them to their competition. Juniper, HP ProCurve, Avaya, Brocade (Foundry), Nortel, 3COM are vendors that can help us define and understand Cisco. Cisco's success may very well be due to the weakness of their competition versus the strengths of Cisco. In addition, with $30 plus billion of cash they are better positioned than most.

Cisco Signals Trouble Ahead | money.cnn.com
I will agree, that a collapse is overkill. But I see a softening of transactions and more projects help up at CFO level and because companies can't hire, and retain talent efficiently. This talent is the hold up of implementing new technologies, none the least is datacenter challenges around power. Wan Opt product realization of layer 4 possible challenges, may change course of companies looking for wan opt done at layer 3 instead.
