KYA27, It is a common sense that a packet does not translate into a wavelenght. If it is true, you need to have billions different lambadas available to represent each data packets which does not make sense. The reason why LU want call it optical router in my judgement is a response to NT optical router claim. The fact both companies has weak router tech- nology is forcing them to claim optical router which mislead a lot investors. I am still skeptical about Lucent and Global crossing claims of NX6400. It is a very weak claim since the system is still not ready until sometime next year after more than six month testing in Frontiers. The announcement says nothing about compatibility issue and only deliver OC-192 interface without delivering OC-192C interface. How the ISP to use it peering with existing network dominated by Cisco router is still a mystery. LU has been very good making announcements in last couple years. I wait to see it delivers.
