Is DWDM considered a reliable/scalable/operable carrier
interconnection technology?
Is multi-vendor DWDM (whether internal to the network or for
carrier interconnection) practical or sensible, especially
for carrier/network interconnection? Many vendors proclaim
interoperability, but
DWDM comes in many flavors, and I doubt it makes much sense to hand another
carrier a fiber with a lot of different lambdas on it (if that is what you
were asking). There are way too many variables.
OTOH, if you were simply refering to buying the use of one wave (or
lambda) that is a normal
It was something that came up years ago on where would peering go if
traffic levels kept the growth rate exponential.
Problem is that while the equipment vendors use standard channel
frequencies. The implementation (ie protocols) is completely
different. While both companies may have DWDM
Actually I forgot to mention. Since we have different frequencies
for the lasers, you and your peer would have to agree ahead of time
and stock that particular frequency or color. IT's a major
stocking nightmare especially for spares. The real explosion may
occur as tunable lasers drop in

At this point it's pretty clear that unless you have 1 to 1 spare
capacity someone is going to have to see an outage. Prioritizing
kicks in at this point. Different service levels (ie Platinum, Gold,
Lead) kick in.
Valdis is being modest. His comment to me offlist shows he has true
comedic talent ;-)
Lead? Never heard THAT one before. But I bet if you tell the salescritters
to pronounce it as in 'Leadership', you could charge extra for it. ;)
