Hi Curtis, Please clarify. I'm not sure where you are attributing the fud, but I agree with your assessments. My attempts were at dispelling some of the fud. If you detect evidence that I've merely exacerbated it, please inform where. OTOH, if you are simply agreeing with me, then I appreciate the company. -g- I don't recall implying that 192s are adaptive to traditional ADMs, but they are to OADMs. Nor are Terabit routers actually capable of terabit "routing" beyond discrete OC-48 levels (and only recently, at that), for that matter, although some are now coming up to OC-192 speeds at the forwarding and filtering levels, *ostensibly.* It's all got to do with the language of the marketecture, again. For clarity, I do not consider terabit aggregation and dissemination of Layer 1/2 lambda flows the same thing as terabit routing, for what it's worth. Perhaps if the backplanes operated at those speeds, but even here we're talking about a form of optical crosspoint switching thus far, and for the most part. Correct me if I'm mistaken about this. I'm glad you stopped in, though. Always glad to see you here, actually, but I have something I'd especially like to ask you related to this discussion. Perhaps you can shed some light on Cisco's spatial routing protocol? Is this optically-based framework still alive and progressing, or have the folks over in the labs moved on to a more advanced future? Regards, Frank
