Switch? If people do layer 2 over $6,000+ microwave for backbone links between two POPs, that is a really bad idea in my opinion. WISPs love to build layer 2 clusterfucks because a lot of small ones start with basically no OSPF or BGP knowledge.
Show me a real router platform that is in common use that supports 2.5 Gbps SFP (not SFP+ on a rate limited port).
