'wave' - wavelength, one optical path (though a single wavelength used not many) 'dwdm' - dense wave division multiplexing, many optical transport systems today multiplex different optical wavelengths on a single fiber. Most optical transport vendors will sell you one wavelength from point to point on their system, or many waves if you need more than one wave's capacity. -chris > > Thanks for the heads up! > > > >> Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 10:24:16 -0400 >> Subject: Re: Equinix MPLS connectivity >> From: morrowc.li...@gmail.com >> To: leo.wo...@gmail.com >> CC: nanog@nanog.org >> >> On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 4:22 AM, Leo Woltz <leo.wo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > We are looking for some MPLS connectivity between Equinix Ashburn and >> > Equinix San Jose who would the group recommend? >> >> why not just buy a wave on someone's dwdm system?
