The Alliance for Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement can tell you
EXACTLY which Asian Counterfeit Operations are doing the best job today
in marketing counterfeit router "cheapness."

I looked at their site, and do not find that information anywhere.
I see that they have a "report" on grey marketting available... to
businesses who send them a company fax that indicates the reason why
they are interested. It isn't clear whether the "report" names names.
But it doesn't really matter whether it does, because the report
is only about Grey Market activities, not about counterfeiting.
I looked at the Press portion of their site, and do not see
anything about counterfeiting there. Every single item I checked
was about grey market (not counterfeit) activity, and every single
suit I could see was against North American principles --
channel partners, warrantee companies, professors at US universities
claiming educational discounts fraudulantly.

But perhaps I just missed the page. Could you point out particular
URLs there, or navigation instructions if a master URL with frames
are involved?

How many of those are different internally?

You won't get very far unless you name some specs. Managable or not?
Number of ports? Port speeds? Number of copper/gbic/sfp interfaces?
Routing protocols supported? Security features? Required VLAN features?
Required QoS features?
As for brands, I can name more than "3 or 4" off the top of my head:
Cisco, Nortel, HP, Netgear, D-Link, Linksys, SMC... and that's not
even including the numerous off-brands available in consumer
electronic stores.
