Great video. Thanks a lot. But, the usage of "dropping" traffic was uneasy to hear for me as a Network Engineer, ha ha !!! I wish you said "deliver" instead as traffic drops are a no-no in my L3 world.

Great video thank you

[@RibbonCommunications]

Glad you enjoyed it

9:20 but companies are saying things on making 1.2Tbit per wavelength, does it mean they have really less channels? Why do they make it a huge deal then
If the 'wavelength' takes a lot of usable space...
