Ok Smarty Pants,

I Said:
*it takes their optical transmission network from 2.5 Gbps to 10 Gbps. Hey that's a 4X increase!*

You quipped:
*Does that mean its really, really, really, really, really, really, important?? JDN*

My point is that the demand is ACCELERATING their capacity buildout. Like I said - so many folks are oblivious to the significance of the development.

I don't know how to interpret this IP over 192 business just yet. It probably means that they are sending smaller bundles (OC3, OC12 etc) collectively over a larger 192.

Or, it may mean that they are mapping IP directly onto SONET at 192, but 192 is still way too fast for routers to catch up to where lookups and policy decisions are concerned. I remain confused on this. Can someone clarify this for us?
