Re: Cool... Understood.
That said, higher density = cheaper in the long run, so I'd expect that Comcast et al will benefit on the bottom line frm deploying these things. Also might allow for more speed upgrades on the last mile, particularly for FTTH providers like Verizon, since higher speeds on the last mile will translate into higher peak bandwidth on the core... | | |

They only benefit if they needed higher density. Ie, a 747 doesn't do you a lot of good if all you needed was a Cessna. The maintenance will eventually kill you.

That would only be true if capacity at the core was the limiting factor, and it's not.
You also have to keep in mind that the 322Terabit is an aggregate value. The per-slot capacity on each individual chassis is still 100Gbps, so you have to link 70-100 CRS chassis together (depending on the line card types) to reach that throughput number in aggregate. Nobody is doing that, not even Cisco. | |
