I used to buy Cisco 2501’s for frame relay 56K connections at about $8k .. of course the monthly cost for the circuit was almost that much too …

But as the market meets demand, prices should come down. Remember back when 10/100 switches were $1000? Now, you can get a 24 Port 1G switch with 10G uplinks for, what, $400? In another 10 years, 100G will probably be the same. Pickup a 24 Port 100G switch with 1TB uplinks for $200.

Yeah, until you have to route those packets, rather than just transporting a beam of light. -----Original Message----- From: Faisal Imtiaz Sent: Friday, February 05, 2016 8:57 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 100Gbps It's not un-common to do 100Gpbs as follows:- Bonding 10x 10G circuits Bonding a combination of 40G circuits. providing 100G switched transport is easy. Having a router, to do 100G transport is not, Expect to pay approx $100k for a router (loaded ready to go, on the 2ndary markets) Regards.

Let's just say, for a minute, that I could sell Adobe a 100Gbps line. What would that be priced at? I think I can do it technically with a pair of fiber I can get end to end. Are their LD optics at 100Gbps yet? Or are we still talking dense wave multiplexing?
