I think this is a great idea. Maybe not a huge market, but I would buy them, instead of having to use dumb transceivers. It would be interesting to have some other smart SFP options too, like macsec for example... Tim:> On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 5:00 AM, Saku Ytti <saku@ytti.fi> wrote:
I actually emailed RAD, MethodE and Avago yesterday and pitched the idea.
MiTOP is my exact justification why it should technically be feasible.
I guess it would be easier to pitch, if there would be commitment to buy, but I don't personally need many units, just 1-2 here and there.

There is absolutely no reason that you couldn't deliver 'media converter' or '2 port switch' in a SFP casing
Yes, similar devices exist
