>> Does Ciena, Cisco, Redback or Lucent have a 10 Gb Ethernet interface for optical networking? Apparently not, because there appears to be no standard yet but only a specification.<< My understanding is that at least Ciena does. Just because there is no standard yet does not necessarily mean there is no interface that each company may have....Or are you saying a standard is necessary before a product can be developed? >>CIENA ADDS RATE-ADAPTIVE GIGABIT ETHERNET TO ITS SERVICE-ENABLING LIGHTWORKS TOOLKIT New CIENA Technology Gives Service Providers the Power To Offer Customers "Any-Size" Gigabit Ethernet Services<< ciena.com Could Ciena be offering these "Gigabit Ethernet Services" without an interface?
