James - I agree about "worldwide optical transport" probably incorporating DWDM. If "wot" also includes SONET, then the striking difference in the two growth rates (nearly 5X for DWDM vs. 2X for "wot") seems to confirm that SONET is not going to grow, at least the larger, older SONET technology. Thaks for your other comments on creating a Ciena earnings model. I expect it will be only a rough "guestimate" at first, but got to start somewhere.
