Wow, NT is an ADM (add drop multiplexor). A very good one that runs on sonet, but just an ADM none the less. There is no intelligence relative to the content of the transmission. I have experience configuring them, have you? For example - Internet 2's Abilene Network uses Qwest provisioned (Lucent) fiber using NT ADM's. The Layer 3 work is done on cisco GSR's. I can't wait to see the Corning, Belden or Lucent advertisements on how much of the Internet runs on their fiber or wire! As an fyi the Internet is and always has been a Layer 3 entity (IP = Internet Protocol - look it up). NT barely registers low single digits in the IP internet backbone. John :-) btw - in the interest of full disclosure - I am a Cisco employee, but seeing what a great moneymaker SONET ADM's are - I do own some NT. Since I love fiber - I also own some Corning :-) but I sold my Lucent for other reasons!
