			     THIS MONTH:


      Using Linux to Short Circuit the Internet Product Design Cycle
		   John Brothers, Elastic Networks

    In September 1997, I was asked to produce a router-like product to
      provide additional features to a core product line that was in
  development. Based on the feature set required, and the relative skill
  of the development team members, it was estimated that developing the
  system from a standard embedded operating system base would have taken
   3-4 people approximately 18 months. By using Linux, we had the core
  functionality completed in 1 week, and were able to begin a much less
  		    risky iterative design cycle.
