>>Now, one Core Director box can control all 96 channels, so that a service provider will only have to buy two, one for each end, is that right?<< Theoretically, yes. But Ciena told us on the last CC that three out of the four announced CD customers are using the CoreDirector in a mesh network, so there would be a number of CoreDirectors positioned as in the diagram on this page... ciena.com >>And one CoreDirector box can control up to 256 channels, is that correct?<< My understanding is that it not only "controls" that many channels by providing the traditional static multiplexing functions that an ADM would, but also (and more importantly) provides a dynamic switching function.
