Your first question comes from Cobb Sadler - Deutsche Bank.

A question on the product mix. It looks like you shipped a lot of 4200 as well as CoreDirector maybe into a North American account. Is that sustainable going forward? Thanks a lot.
Gary Smith
Yes, we believe it is. It's part of the overall architecture that we've developed and I think that's very applicable to the demand we're seeing for converged networks. The 4200 and the core switching are really the underpinnings of our architecture that we're evolving.
Cobb Sadler - Deutsche Bank
On the old CNX-5 product, what's the outlook there? It's tough for me to see exactly what it is in the breakout now, and I've kind of lost touch with it. How are things going in that business? Thanks.
Gary Smith
Cobb, it's included in our access grouping. It was an uptick from last quarter. We've seen a fair amount of fluctuation there. The Ethernet access group in total was about $15 million, which is a mix of the CNX-5 product.

Your next question comes from Simon Leopold - Morgan Keegan.
Simon Leopold - Morgan Keegan
I wanted to see if we could talk a little bit about the trends that you're seeing. I understand the guidance for the fiscal year of 20% growth, but if you could talk a little bit about the full year, understanding quarters will be lumpy, how you see your product mix trending and your focus? It sounds like you've been particularly strong in the long haul products this year, but you're highlighting metro. Maybe talk about how you see your product mix next year. Thanks.
Steve Alexander
When you say we've been strong in the long haul, the thing you have to look at is what the strength that's been driven by capacity across the board, but maybe more importantly in some cases the transition over to Ethernet. You have to factor that most of the networks deployed today have some variation on SONET SDH in them. Many of those are making that transition.
Simon Leopold - Morgan Keegan
So when we look at the trending that you've had this year, clearly there's some new projects, upgrade to networks that have helped the historical CoreDirector and long haul WDM. I think what I'm really trying to get at is, as those projects wind down and move into more of a maintenance mode and the new growth is coming out of the metro, that's how I'm envisioning it; I just want to see if that's accurate.
