I'm looking for options.
With dark fiber, obviously, I have the ultimate in options.
However, its the ultimate in cost as you say.
The requirement we have is 10gig of actual throughput. Precisely what =
mechanism is used to transport it isn't all that important, though I'm =
certain that there will be complaints... :)
I'd LOVE to have me some DWDM, always wanted to run some of that gear, =
but at that point, why stop at 10G
