adg4hh4j5 @mindspring.com	Re: funny 40 Gbps is not enough. If they're spending this kind of money anyway, they should invest in upgrading further. Bandwidth usage is going to skyrocket in the next few years. Spending a little more now would be smarter.

dublin00 join:2005-12-29 Dublin, CA	Re: funny I guess I should have said manufacturable. I started working on OC-768 switches in 2000. It has taken 5-6 years for it to get to the point that you could sell a switch with the technology (i.e not a one off prototype). I suspect it will take just as long for OC-1536 or what-ever they call it to reach a mass producible state too.

Fatal Vector join:2005-11-26	What's funny is us worrying about africas infrastructure. As if they will be needing any such thing any time soon. Get real.

DWDM runs multiple "sonet" pipes on a single fiber. IE-- your example of 120 gbps would actually be 12 separate wavelengths each running 10 gbps or oc192 not a single wavelength at 120 gbps. (320-400 gbps second DWDM machines are not that uncommon-- 32-40 oc192's) So in single "beam" of light oc768 is as fast as you will see deployed-- however DWDM tech could allow someone to run multiple oc768 on a single fiber for even faster DWDM.
