Prices of terrestrial SDH/SONET cards are very low for transport providers. For customers I believe there is a greater divergenc between the Ethernet and SONET/SDH costs.
A strong hunch based on what clients tell me Cisco charges for SONET/SDH interfaces.
I doubt a lot of people would think that SDH/SONET cards for *routers* are inexpensive. And yes, I have a reasonable idea of what kind of discounts are available out there... Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no Transport in my world is not Layer 3. It's Layer 2: Ethernet, SDH, SONET, waves. But my clients are mostly Layer 3. So you and I are in fundamental agreement. Roderick S. Beck Director of European Sales Hibernia Atlantic
