This is specifically a wave and not L2 ethernet or MPLS. Also not dark. We lease a lot of metro dark but this is a regional connection and I have no need or budget for a whole strand on this path.
I wouldn't mind colored optics, but this is a pretty heavy regional route and I doubt anyone is running passive DWDM on it.
