Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our July 25, 2024 letter. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 54 1. We note your response to prior comment 4. It appears that you manage your business by three primary types of customers: Cloud and AI Titans, Enterprise and Providers. This is evident since you track revenue for these sectors and discuss the sectors in your earnings calls. In future filings please disclose revenue by these categories in your MD&A. Provide us with your proposed future disclosure. We refer to guidance in Item 303 of Regulation S-K which states the objective of the MD&A is to allow investors to view registrants from management's perspective. Also, tell us if revenue or statistical information is provided to the CODM by any other categories such as: Core Data Center/Cloud/AI Switching Products, Adjacent Campus and Routing Products, and Network Software and Services. Please contact Inessa Kessman at 202-551-3371 or Robert Littlepage at 202-551-3361 October 16, 2024 Page 2 if you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.
