Thanks Eric, yes a wave on a carriers DWDM chassis. That takes us back to my original question. LAN PHY vs WAN phy. Is there any reason to use WANPHY assuming I am just connecting a couple of MXs in two different data centers? My thinking is no but I put this out after a couple providers came back with WANPHY on their quotes.
