I have a friend who's in the high speed optoelectronics biz and already does lots of OC-[N] equipment, and I mentioned to him that I thought that there was probably a market for PCI cards that spoke IP over OC-3/OC-12. Before I strongly encourage him to do this, I was curious as to whether anyone else felt there was a real market for such things.

I don't know if there is a market for such things. Things would be different if one could get OC-N switch to plug such things into... There is also issues with PCI bus bandwidth limitation and such.. -dorian
