Now that I finally read the freaking article, I see that what they're proposing is local storage AND processing of Internet-Of-Things data. So they've embedded a subset of Raspberry Pi style functionality into some of their low-to-mid-range routers.

I hate to say it, but there's a market opportunity there, for businesses who'd rather not build and string the Pis together themselves. It's basically an offshoot of what people have been doing with the WRTs and similar Linux routers for a VERY long time.

Cisco is playing catchup but also legitimizing this approach, of treating the router as a legitimate computing device...
