All,
Is there something out there (other than a router) that will convert from OC3c to Gig-E? Feel free to answer offline, don't want to fill everyone's inbox at once :)
If you are looking for something that will actually convert native ethernet frames to native sonet frames, you are pretty much SOL.
If you have an OC3 circuit and just want to see GigE on both sides, use two RIC-155GE boxes - one on each side. http://www.rad.com/Article/0,6583,21840-GbE_over_STM-1_OC-3_Intelligent_Conv... "The RIC-155GE is an intelligent converter enabling simple, efficient and cost-effective bridging of Gigabit Ethernet over STM-1/OC-3 lines." I have no idea how well this works or what the costs are .. Mike.
