Your comments shows your simple, linear (and severely uninformed) understanding of FCoE. FCoE isn't merely FC + Ethernet. That may sound nice, but it isn't reality. Reality is that it's a new protocol that looks, feels, behaves, quacks (whatever) like Fibre Channel. The underlying Ethernet part isn't the Ethernet that Foundry will be bringing to Brocade. It's a completely new technology that hasn't even been developed as a standard yet. Nobody's won in this space yet. Does Foundry help Brocade ultimately in bringing out a better FCoE product? Of course. But is it the reason Brocade bought Foundry? No.
