We are about to sign a contract on a 10G wave and I'm trying to figure

we would want lan phys.
Does this make sense and would we just use normal 10G optics on each end?
If you're getting a true wave it's neither LAN nor WAN PHY. You will get
a wavelength, literally. I recently ordered some 10G waves which were
specified as requiring 1310nm, 1330nm, and "1550nm reaching 80km" optics.
If it's LAN PHY you're getting plain old 10GbE Ethernet like with a
switch. If it's WAN PHY you're getting SONET and the carrier will
probably use OC-192c/STM-64 to carry it.
