Precisely, Frank! Enter the human factor. Planners are a conservative lot and they are always comfortable with what they already know for sure and what is battle hardened.

(Remember -Mike- that once this goes live you'll have to troubleshoot, there won't be many staff with knowledge of both technologies. perhaps two different organizations and such practicalities)

In reality what they would do will be:

Creat another ring -over a new pair of fibers- and hook DWDM over it over it. Start loading any new traffic into it while 'freezing' SDH rings, i.e., not putting new traffic into it.

Use SDH as reserve and any new traffic that is more efficienlty carried over SDH will be loaded there while the bulk of new traffic will be loaded 'over the rainbow' that is on DWDM. Oh, yes you can still buy new SDH cards to fill in your shelves that accomodate them)

That does not mean -at all- that the full potential of DWDM -meaning use one lambda to carry SDH will not be implmented, it will. But what i describe above is how it will start.
