<<This seems to be an advantage, but what manages which data stream goes to which node? The company uses Metro Core to coordinate signals to and from the Metro Edge nodes. Metro Core thus needs robust switching power. There are tbit switches, but it would seem something far more scale dynamic would be needed since under expansion the stress is multiplied at the core. This may be where costs accelerate especially if DD works as advertised and so becomes over utilized. >> Good point. MRVC however DOES have a Tbit router (actually a 250Gbit product that scales to Tbit range) coming out later this year. I couldn't copy the text, but the specs and picture are on page 29 of this long-loading PDF document. Was this what you were referring to by the words "scale dynamic"? mrv.com
