This is a pretty good article about the joint efforts of US and Canadien law enforcement Agencies (FBI, ICE, RCMP, etc) to sieze more than $78 million dollars of "counterfeit" Cisco gear. According to the article, the equipment included routers, wics, network modules..., you name it. All eventually likely destined for an EBay auction near you. The gear consists of parts (probably manufactured to Cisco standards without the serial numbers) and counterfeit Cisco labels to make them appear authentic. The equipment is sourced from China. Bad China, very bad. Federal Agencies take this matter extremely seriously as they intepret it as an attempt to weaken the US and Canadien network infrastructures.
