There is absolutely no reason that you couldn't deliver 'media converter' or '2 port switch' in a SFP casing
Yes, similar devices exist http://www.rad.com/10/SFP-Format-TDM-Pseudowire-Gateway/10267/ so it probably just needs more demand brandon
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.

I doubt you'd want to pay MiTOP prices, though. Steinar Haug, AS 2116
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:

Or HQoS in a SFP, for that one port which kills your ability to get away with cheap L3-switch style box :) But tbh the moment you'll need control-plane in the SFP, it becomes complicated for me to deploy, as then I need to figure out configuration backups, provisioning support etc. -- ++ytti
