Frank- Thanks for your comments. Here's one of the PRs that sum up quite nicely what equipment vendors "claim" is possible: technologyevaluation.com I'm just wondering how it physically works? It's easy for me to understand metro-DWDM platforms being installed independently of a SONET platform. Then eventually, sending the SONET(in about five years) equipment to the trash pile. But apparently this is not what the equipment makers PR have in mind. Somehow, they co-exist. It seems to me they are saying they plug the SONET network right into the GbE-DWDM platform. Hope I'm not being too confusing. I really don't understand the details of either topology. I only have a very general idea of how it works from an investors viewpoint. I supposed the $64,000 questions are; 1) Can an SP who wants to upgrade his trunking/metro network, really buy DWDM-GbE "stuff" that will be able to integrate with their legacy ATM-SONET networks? Or 2) Is it a matter of making the decision to pretty much let the SONET die and run a parallel network using DWDM and GbE stuff? -MikeM(From Florida)
