Hi, I've been reading a little about passive optic networks and the idea is very good from my stand point. As far as I have understood, the idea is to use the fiber as it was coax, doing some kind of FDM (frequency division multiplexing) with the lambdas (somehow the same). This would give us the capability to move at leat n x 10mbps ethernet on the same fiber using diferent lambdas for each customer, until power budget goes down. If the idea is correct, this would mean "next jump" on bandwidth. Who would be making this "ethernet/lambda multiplexors" right now? Is it feasible to do it today? or should we wait a little more? I mean, there are solutions using packet over sonet or alike, but pure ethernet? -- Miguel Mata-Cardona Intercom El Salvador mmata () intercom com sv voz: ++(503) 278-5068 fax: ++(503) 265-7024
