next from Liani of the America. of Your question comes Bank line from Tal

have growth. I in trends the a on Product the question quarter.

are it's XX%. are XX.X% year-over-year not services about products up X.X%, growth revenues overall between down but and So services. down and even Product is

So both I'm steeper to understand trying versus understand the in I'm in strong sides. trying to growth the products? decline services

So first, subscriptions again, our multiyear contracts. many remember, includes services software of and

product. is So it's whereas not services just very clearly product perpetual

deferred So this look, software, never trend, with except much with the comps think product. But into I say year. getting the revenue better with helped and us services I we to from to we're last year do read too can stickier and only wouldn't

and think, I grow the recovering business Tal, recovering. then a and And continue of be to should that. more on software meaningful of is top mean, the services product the but to piece it layer is I continue

You that year and next see as can in the into well. guide commentary QX for our

Notter the Your George from next from Jefferies. of question comes line

give where in could routing routing? us you're and in maybe of you use the what about of in sales cases now Very you're interested then forward, for there? be to are forward? driving are different hear the or also, routing today? use And in your will commentary sense amount pursuing revenue in looking cases percentage space. you that cases a you Maybe And going all you what definition of applications, you about of kind use talk could success And

Tier particularly And difficult is providers, we break off we've Tier down, turned routing told corner it providers, X big only those started but take always a cloud. these X US, telco and X together. the of lot winning Tier year, elephants as tended on I've use as It's always go trend a time. because you, to But what and the for not saw service But this and the internationally. in we aimed or to of switching we winning, sort the cases be

of happy very were Some the of us. them multi-vendor EVPN, from with just combination BGP stack

Some cases. of use them were peering

could others economics, get So resilience features these are And routing all we're then disruptive love in well customer classical with better the very routing but doing they know cloud better they come base cases that to also, well. use from very, us. and as from and programmability, that have

some for We have time. been

to of is all that combination providers, the not five is say permeating routing just it the all our this verticals. service So with now

that you the or the attribute allowed feature one delivery service there in product is to? provider to delivery space, quarter or And you can turn has anything that

service a one never it's providers as as list long It's If you the know do, feature. well them. of we

success. more and it But more there's it So working feature we've as been four to always to combination has you do, I for the think one of George, know. years, five to led

of comes Sachs. question from the Goldman line next Hall Rod from Your

just question you lot go of like additional and do And enterprises, there. revenue will because rollout? time of you absolute then issue of become when in deferred an I revenue guys 'XX enterprise. accelerated growth be housekeeping seems think would main again? is, The XXX-gig kind housekeeping you a really the building a back in to one. wanted sequential QX. if up Do slow And spending wanted think that a product revenue least have then also ask see there's guys It I to we'll deferred to anything, at

curious, look the Thanks. think any you? few on or just next does revenue quarters forward So do like that how for you pulling you're continues enterprise,

set, or it difficult it's mean, when we'll very the deferred, cetera, tends for requirements, current have I to accounting. under forecast be acceptance. particularly product think customer different lastly differentiated I on always the et to for some

of this more be It's But going predict to a some be hard a product at not differentiated we'll So there see. it's point. forward. would deferred very get to to would that that or difficult to have bar. It

enterprises some to end back after still slightly they if year. the are demand the of say by product pull more. anything, buy love of hopefully good we're supply few quarters. improve I and our in, will versus experiencing The want And would Rod, I'll that a say just feels to and constrained tough opposite shortages be it

So no pull-in for sure.
