Obviously using 40 gig waves as the foundation blocks of one's network provides some economies of scale and per unit capex cost savings.
I would be curious if anyone knows how to convert this SONET/SDH 40 gig waves into a 40 gig Ethernet handoff? Afterall, OC768 route cards are a tad expensive ... Roderick S.

Southern Cross and Nortel have been trialing 40Gbps waves on the 8000km segment from Hawaii to New Zealand. http://www.itnews.com.au/News/152866,southern-cross-trials-40gbps-nortel-kit.aspx The 8000km segment is a LONG way - a very long way but it should mean stability for any cable system (I'm not sure there are segments that are much longer on any other system) - the bandwidth limit hasn't been hit yet!
