I think you will find the "monitor" port is most likely to be used for =
"lawful" intercept by unnamed government entities.

Thanks for the answers. From the sounds of it, no one knows the real =
difference between the expansion port, 1310 port, and 1550 port. For =
real world applications, I would assume the monitor port would be to =
plug in a handheld meter, and see which channels are coming through that =
node without breaking the ring. Not sure if their would be a monitor =
port for both directions is you were using a OADM?
