[IP-Optical] RE: Optical link bundling. Was Re: DraftMinutes From Pittsburgh

I guess I'm missing this speed argument that's been made twice today. Why
would one expect that optics by itself can change the speed with which
bandwidth is provisioned?

Surely if tools can be deployed to rapidly provision bandwidth using lambda
as the knob, similar tools can provision bandwidth about as quickly using
other knobs? Like ATM PVCs, SONET pipes, LSPs?
