CIENA DOES NOT SWITCH.
yes, ciena does not switch, but other products that connect from other vendors do. this was not to imply ciena produces switches, but when you look at the big picture, switching products eventually come into the mix, and a csco or an asnd, offers further one stop shopping for customers.
ATM IS NOT DWDM, nor is it a migration path to ATM.
i again agree with you, but as networks evolve, dwdm has become the product to deploy to maximize utilization of fiber optic networks. with atm growth, and network traffice growth in general, atm products are being replaced with dwdm products. this was not to imply the protocol, but the hardware used. asnd has moved from ras/rac hardware company to becoming an atm hardware company, was the reference.
