Jack, optical layer for gigabit ethernet... <A recent breakthrough in WDM development will result in next generation Dynamic DWDM devices. These will be fully integrated with router and switching technology to take advantage of significantly higher backplane speeds and will incorporate protocols beyond Gigabit Ethernet such as OC-48 and OC-192. These products are planned for introduction in the first half of 1999. Current generation DWDM solutions offer only multiple fixed point-to-point connections on a fiber loop. However, data networks require rapid simultaneous and addressable connections to many sites to maintain efficient operations. Reconfiguration of current networks require either expensive digital cross-connects or physical rearrangement of components on the loop. In contrast to current generation DWDM solutions, MRV's Dynamic DWDM will create an optical layer for the access network. This optical layer will perform routing, switching and optical cross connect functions completely in the optical domain. > from biz.yahoo.com I agree with you that optical networking might be very big news indeed. Just pointing out that more and more stuff is popping up about practical optical networking being near at hand... what interesting times! Richard
