Cisco is a clear winner being the top networking vendor in 2000-01 and is way ahead in comparison to Enterasys, which is the No. 2 vendor. Enterasys has done exceptionally well. D-Link could not perform as well as it did during the last year. Though 3Com gained on the revenue front, the company slipped down to No. 4. Fibcom is a new entrant in the Top 10 Club, as this time ‘Networking Masters’ has included optical transmission as one of the components.

Last year was a three-digit growth year. But this year the market has not performed well and the average growth of companies in the Top 10 Club is about 66 percent. Avaya and Tellabs have stepped down on the rank list, while Hughes Network has stepped up. The revenue of ‘Top 5’ and ‘Next 5’ have reduced whereas that of the ‘Others Category’ has increased, showing that the number of players have increased in all the segments.
