said by SLD:I'm just saying that they are woefully underlinked right now, and 100Gbps isn't that high for a backbone if it is heavily used for video or filesharing. One of my clients was spitting out 850Mbps last weekend all by himself, and his site is only in the top 8000.
They just wouldn't be using a single 100Gbps link for each backbone connection from site to site. They have DWDM, which means that can deploy 32, 40, or 80 100Gbps wavelengths on each leg. I imagine currently they are running several 40Gbps wavelengths per leg. Providers that are using 10Gbps backbone links have them bundled and are approaching 10x10 bundles.
