Obviously using 40 gig waves as the foundation blocks of one's network =
provides some economies of scale and per unit capex cost savings.=20
I would be curious if anyone knows how to convert this SONET/SDH 40 gig =
waves into a 40 gig Ethernet handoff?=20
Afterall, OC768 route cards are a tad expensive ...

Congrats Rod.
Southern Cross and Nortel have been trialing 40Gbps waves on the 8000km=20
segment from Hawaii to New Zealand.

The 8000km segment is a LONG way - a very long way but it should mean=20
stability for any cable system (I'm not sure there are segments that are =
much longer on any other system) - the bandwidth limit hasn't been hit =
yet!
