Hi Frank, I'd like to get YOUR comments on it.
A couple questions for you:

re<< Transparent LAN
service will require the evenly
spread model of bandwidth
distribution.>>

Is this really true, or just a "taking the easy way out" view of what really is a far more complex problem than can be described by a linear/uniform distribution?

In fact, the statement in the paragraph that follows the above:

<<The
next-generation carrier
environment will demand an
inter-office transmission
system that is a more agile
manager of bandwidth...>>

seems to imply a non-linear model.

re:<<About 70
percent of the SONET rings
operate at OC12-or-less line
rates. >>

Does that seem accurate to you?

<<Bandwidth scalability and the
ability to overlay existing
SONET rings can be
accomplished through the use
of DWDM >>

Does this provide the fine level of granularity the author speaks of?

It seems in one sense the author is saying the SONET ring topology is just "getting in the way and should be dropped rather than band-aided into oblivion," and in another sense the author says next generation carriers need to consider compatibility as a foremost concern:

<<This must also work
in rings for the purpose of
overlaying existing SONET fiber
topology and for service
providers that are more
acclimated to ring operation>>

I'm not real sure what he's trying to say, TTTT.
