I have a difficult time to understand LU's claim " Optical Router ". As I understand in the past, router is the one looking into data packets and from the content of data packet figures out where should the packet sent to. From LU announcement, I understand it dealt with Lambada of wave length. It more like a switch than router. My guess is LU want to use router name because it is popular. I think all those optical claims is in the area of fiber transmission ring. It should not be confused with the real router operation which is in the data packet level.
