Humor inside the Nexus 5000 switch fabric architecture

I was putting together some presentations this morning and found a joke hidden inside the Nexus 5000 switch fabric architecture. Can you find it?

If you are from the San Francisco bay area you will recognize the towns of Los Altos and Los Gatos. In this diagram, the chipsets are Altos and Gatos. But where is the Los? Missing of course, because it is a Lossless fabric.

Yes, I LOL’ed
