My provider was able to provide me LAN PHY or WAN PHY, we went with LAN PHY - works fine into a CCR/MX104 chassis - the way I was described it was LAN PHY is a typical 10G hand off... I'm not sure on why you would use WAN PHY unless your forced to because that is all the provider's equipment supports. I believe there is some overhead in WAN PHY, so it can't deliver a full 10g circuit (wikipedia says somewhere around 9.5g).
