Joe,
thanks for yours and Douglas' posts.
<< Here is information on a product that does IP over DWDM. I think IP over DWDM is more efficient than Sonet. >>
This has been an interesting concept lately (well, for me at least). I just read in GGR --
<< "...The cumbersome layering of IP over WDM, becoming intelorable as as the SONET toll heads toward 10 Billion a year, is giving way to a simple stack of IP over WDM. Mesh network technologies enabled by real time lambda provisioning from Sycamore, Avanex, Xros, Corvis, and Lucent via its Wavestar Lambda router, will more cheaply and efficiently replace legacy SONET rings. " >>
trying to find out who exactly is going to be hurt and helped by this if true? doesn't sound good for SONET if true. i respect Gilder, although i think he's a little off on fibre channel. interestingly, viangio in the Yahoo Ancor thread, who is clearly one of the few knowledgeable posters, seems to like the old ATM/SONET thing.
Is Gary still around? i don't think he could wait to get out of this one. ;-)
thanks for any thoughts,
