All rights reserved.Cisco Public 4 Discussion  The headline reads "Cisco Saves $2.4 million with redesigned India WAN."² Cisco struggled with keeping their India sites connected not only with other offices in India, but also with other Cisco branch offices in the Asia Pacific region and with the United States.  Cisco’s own analysis pointed out that "Although traffic was light, connections were overwhelmed, performance was poor, and service outages were frequent... Sometimes all circuits would fail, isolating India from the rest of Cisco."³
