Re: Oh, there's a glut, just not of what you think.. When they upgrade it's not old stock per say , it,s stock that has been used past its service periods. Even if the equipment is 4 years old it's deemed replaceable and so it's swapped out.
Some of this gear is still quite useful and works fine. Instead of using it to light another strand else where they auction it off.
This gear is called EOL'ed gear which means end of life gear. It is not always broken, for example we are phasing out 3 ghz pcs at work , the are 3 years old and considered EOL. But 95% are running fine and 75% don't need a powerful pc that the newer ones provide. So instead of just boxing em up and sending em off to a dump to be destroyed we should cycle them to others , like receptionists and the like who don't need the power. The same should be done with routing gear.
