I hope not. The other option is DWDM to GE or FC interfaces in the LAN or SAN. IBM is probably going to offer this approach. It may obviate the need for ATM in the LAN/WAN. If the entire network goes to optical switching at some point - you won't have to replace all the ATM gear. All in my opinion, I am long TLAB and wish they had higher visibility in the DWDM area.
