Greeting all, Is anyone out there using PON in a campus or facility environment? I am talking to a few vendors who are pushing PON as a replacement for edge switching on the campus and in some cases, ToR switch in the DC. Opinions on this technology would be greatly appreciated.
The datacenter tor / host evironments I'm exposed to generally consider 10Gb/s or Nx10 to be the performance floor not the ceiling. To my thinking 100gig lr4 results in a substantial reduction in fiber/optic/port count which will in the long more than offset the increased cost something that didn't really happen with 40gig.
Thanks, Kenneth
