Word of the talks comes a week before Lucent is scheduled to finalize its acquisition of Ascend Communications.
According to published reports, Lucent is willing to pay between $600 million and $800 for Nexabit. Based in Malborough, Mass., the company is working on new switches that can transmit trillions of bits per second.
While Lucent's acquisition of Ascend will give it a line of asynchronous transfer mode switches, which are designed to carry voice, data and video over the same network, it still lacks a state-of-the-art Internet router.
