And my question is that a real oc768 or a Sears oc768. Like Cisco, sure its a gig E port but oh wait, you wanted to use it for more than 200 mb/s? On Tue, 30 Jul 2002, blitz wrote:
I believe many are working on it, but I haven't seen/heard of much progress since I learned of this, some 4 years ago now.. Add to that the bandwidth glut with all the DWDM and I guess they've got breathing room...

I believe Junpier does have a OC-768 interface under testing if I'm not mistaken...

Seriously, I don't see OC768 coming online en masse until they get the kinks worked out of optical switching. The transit times are so short thru the innards, in the order of picoseconds, that electronics is way too slow to perform such mundane tasks like determining where a packet is supposed to go. Thus, all this will require optical computing to be available cheaply and a lot more widespread than it is now.
...and :
a) Someone got the money to buy the gear
b) We have used the current capacity (see a).
