Craig,

I do believe that LU has used 5 Gb/s in some systems. It is not common in the industry and doesn't have an OC code. All OC's are related by a factor of 4 so there is no OC-96 that I know of.

However, LU has been known to use 5 Gb/s in their own systems. Of course, this would make their equipment incompatible with other vendors which is something that service providers try to avoid.

If this is the data rate they are running then they chose to use a non-standard rate. This is either a brilliant strategy or a very stupid one.
