CIEN does not fit the profile of the kind of company that CSCO buys.

Not exactly true. CSCO bought Stratacom in 1994 or so to get into the ATM switch market. They were a large company with leading market share (along with Cascade) at the time. A CIEN acquisition makes just too much sense for CSCO right now, the question is whether CIEN management will sell.....
