Why no Nortel in Switch test?

We did invite Nortel, as well as all other vendors who play in this market, to participate in the test but the company declined our invitation.

Test Setup Question

Define "Idle". Was the box just sitting there waiting for LAN traffic or just booted up?

The test grid at http://www.obviously.com/tech_tips/Switch_Power_Consumption accepts user contributions. So add your Nortel if you like. There "idle" means powered up with no cables. And "typical" is a fuzzy measure, based on the submitter (typically that submitter's office or server room load measured over one workweek).
