I'm not sure that I'd agree it would be out that far. Think of things like fail-over circuits (back-hoe avoidance algorithms...), bandwidth balancing in the core of the networks, etc. In these cases a 2Gb/s (or whatever) circuit could be required with a quick set up, and eventual tear-down - like an ATM SVC. No reason to leave a dim lambda sitting round for that... Cheers, Markus >>Of course >>wavelength conversion can help build a better-utilized network, >>no question about that. > >Agreed again.
