        Yeah, but they could be running cisco LocalDirectors. Still
cisco equipment, but it is a Layer 4 load-balancing device. Unless
you know precisely what equipment they have where, you don't know
what they could potentially be doing to the packets as they pass
through the network.

        Just knowing that they're all ciscos doesn't help.
