Talk:Networking hardware

[edit] Cleanup tags

I've added these to highlight the fact that this article presents a very blinkered approach to the subject, and contains numerous inaccuracies. For example, "The file server is usually at the heart of the network, which controls the information between nodes of the network". The first clause may be true of small office LANs with a single storage server (probably providing "Windows shares") but it doesn't really apply anywhere else. The second clause is simply wrong - a file server simply does not "control information between nodes of [a] network". Really, the article needs a complete rewrite by somebody with relevant experience, or to be deleted and replaced with a redirect to an appropriate existing article.

[edit] List of companies that make Networking Hardware

There is only so much Networking Hardware available - from Hubs to Switches to Routers to Wireless - could this page also be a roundup of the different companies and the generic products they produce?? Or should it be under Networking_vendor? --Jezarnold (talk) 13:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

* Perhaps the new page should be List_of_Networking_Vendors ??? --Jezarnold (talk) 22:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

No One Has Responded... so I have added List_of_Networking_hardware_vendors page to create a market share roundup of all the top companies. --Jezarnold (talk) 17:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
