So, typical setups can be something like this in a simple network diagram -

DSL<=>multi-service concentrator<=>CBX550<=>lucent core OLS400G
Ethernet<=>ATM Access Switch/Router<=>CBX550<=> OLS400G
Ethernet/ATM switch<=>multiserviceconcentrator<=>CBX550<=>OLS400G


jach,

Thank you for the diagram. You jogged in my mind something else that Ejabat had said in Scottsdale. He said something to the effect that there is a need for more transmission capacity before considerably more core switching can be installed. Looks like LU is help doing the trick on the capacity end of the game.

1. Yes, this can very likley create more demand for the 550 (100G) type switches as the
backbone core network can now handle tera bits
2. Long distance calls will become a lot cheaper
3. DSL types of services will take-off faster
4. multi-service ATM access concentrator mkt will benenfit

So, typical setups can be something like this in a simple network diagram -

DSL<==>multi-service concentrator<==>CBX550<==>lucent core OLS400G
Ethernet<==>ATM Access Switch/Router<==>CBX550<==> OLS400G
Ethernet/ATM switch<==> multiservice concentrator<==>CBX550<==> OLS400G


jach,

I really appreciate the reply. To make sure I am clear, LU did not develop any switching for this high s[eed transfer. They found a way to permit more data to travel over the same fiber.
