Optical Router?

There is no known way that you can sort a light source, so optical will remain in the switch area, and revert to electrical/magetic for routing. This is one reason I am not worried about my Cisco stock.

In the parallel universe of the GG Email list there is a related debate going on. One poster mentioned that he thought Agilent had made an announcement about a "pure optical" network. I searched but found nothing (so far) about any such Agilent announcement. I did, however, stumble upon this from Avici Systems:

avici.com
Their slogan is "ENABLING a new frontier by routing PACKETS OVER LIGHT"

I do not count myself among the super-techno-literati, but perhaps someone from that rarified zone could comment. Just thought I ought to throw it out... LindyBill?
