Even if larger MTUen are interesting (but most of the time not worth
the work) the sole reason I like SDH as my WAN technology is the
presence of signalling -- so that both ends of a link are aware of its
status near-instantly (via protocol parts like RDI etc). In GE it is
legal to not receive any packets, which means that "oblivious" is a
possible state for such a connection. With associated routing
implications.
