Do you know which box is delivering the service? There are a couple of diff=
erent ways that this could be delivered and lots of incompatabilities betwe=
en muxes. Cisco 15454 can do this as can Nortel OM and Lucent Metro. The 45=
4 is horrifically expensive though but if you are already a cisco shop it c=
ould be the simplest option. Downside to all these devices are the manageme=
nt systems are somewhat not what you'll be used too. :) might be worth ask=
ing the carrier to do this for you as for them its could simply be a card i=
n the existing mux (assuming it is a SDH service).

Subject: SDH mux question
Folks,
I am wondering if anyone of you folks know a box that could
take the 4 STM-16 from a STM-64, but with a 4 fiber handoff
to a random carrier. Who knows of such a box by any chance?
I was looking for the DWDM- type of things (MRV, Transmode)
any maybe those do exist.
Thanks folks!
