Folks,
Let's not go overboard here. Can we remember that most corporate and
campus (and, for that matter home) networks are symmetric, at least at
the edges. Personally, I figure that by deploying PON, the major
carriers were just asking for trouble down the line. It's not like
carrier-grade gigE switches are that much more expensive than PON gear.
