After almost two years of year-over-year declines, this second consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth reflected the increased emphasis service providers have placed on the backbone of their networks.

Alam Tamboli, business analyst at Dell'Oro Group, said: "All major core routing vendors have recently introduced, or will soon introduce new core routing platforms with significantly increased capacity. We expect the confluence of these new products to drive the core router market to double-digit growth for the full-year 2014 as service providers qualify these new products for their networks."
