Hi Leo:
since you are addressing my comment, probably you meant 'chris' there...
Just trying to understand the lingo. What do you mean by buying a "wave" on someone's dwdm system? And what is dwdm?
'wave' - wavelength, one optical path (though a single wavelength used not many) 'dwdm' - dense wave division multiplexing, many optical transport systems today multiplex different optical wavelengths on a single fiber. Most optical transport vendors will sell you one wavelength from point to point on their system, or many waves if you need more than one wave's capacity. -chris
Thanks for the heads up!

We are looking for some MPLS connectivity between Equinix Ashburn and Equinix San Jose who would the group recommend?
why not just buy a wave on someone's dwdm system? (why mpls, I suppose, for what sounds like a ptp application)
