Revenues by geographic area are based upon the country of billing. The geographic location of distributors and third-party manufacturing service providers may be different from the geographic location of the ultimate end users.

We believe a substantial portion of the products billed to OEM and third-party manufacturing service providers in the Asia Pacific region are ultimately shipped to end-markets in the United States and Europe.

We also classify our product revenues based on our three product lines: (i) Ethernet switching, (ii) Connectivity and (iii) Transport processing. Product revenues by product lines are as follows:

	September 30,
	2014		2013		2012
