The OAM story came up as well, as being the major improvements from
Trident to Jericho.

If I'm honest, given that everything has gone IP + Cloud, the demand for
VPN's - as we've known them - is no longer there, really. Well, at least
in our market anyway. At which point we introduce the fresh buzzword for
2020 - "SD-WAN". Oooh, but don't forget, we now have "SD-LAN" and
"SD-WLAN". Just keeps getting better and better.

In short, we don't really have a huge OAM demand simply because our
customers just want simple IP. They just want to get to their Instagram.

Mark.
