Ciena sells a lot of spendy 40Gb optical link gear, it's particularly in demand for undersea cable work, where changing the physical plant is basically NOT an option. I'm sure 100Gb is under active development. Terrestrially, you just run more 10Gb lines in parallel and use link aggregation.

The ISP is just the man in the middle, they count on the net aggregate being something they can handle, that the two endpoints, collectively, don't/can't saturate the fabric too much of the time. Of course, staying ahead of that curve IS their business. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
