According to a newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the worldwide service provider edge router market attained a record level in the third quarter of 2010. The research shows that the market expanded by more than 25 percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same prior year period and surpassed $1.5 billion. Cisco Systems improved its market share lead in the third quarter, while Alcatel-Lucent overtook Juniper Networks for the second position.
