Thanks for the nice welcome guys, you are correct in assuming WDM fits into the OSI model. What I am seeing is the customer embedding the Physical Serivce layers such as Voice, Frame, IP into logical overlays on ATM and then of course onto physical connectivity (transport) such as SDH / WDM. Services and Management to Switching to Transport. While most of the market looks upon WDM as a point to point benefit, It is becoming a media for distributing switching. IMHO, CSCO buys them for total turnkey solutions, while I have no fact on the following, again I stand on my soapbox and point out that a corporation does NOT invoke a shareholder's rights plan for nothing. I've been buying CIEN all the way down to 38, while I can't go into it here, I've been in their labs and "You ain't seen nutin yet". Rgds
