MikeM, we had a brief discussion of this over on the Ciena thread. As far as I can remember, this is not a new sale for Ciena. They inked this deal several months ago and now I think they're ramping up. It is however, the first deployment of Ciena's DWDM with Cisco. You may or may not know this, but Ciena and Cisco announced a partnership about a year ago in which they said that they were going to sew DWDM directly onto Cisco equipment to provide IP over DWDM. (I apologize if I'm butchering the descriptions; I'm not a techie). This is the first thing that I have seen to actually do it.

As for speculation of a Cisco-Ciena merger--we've now been waiting six months since the TLAB-Ciena merger cratered, and there has been no signs of movement. I discount the possibility of it happening, unless the IP over DWDM initiative starts to get traction.

Doughboy.
