The datacenter tor / host evironments I'm exposed to generally consider
10Gb/s or Nx10 to be the performance floor not the ceiling. To my
thinking 100gig lr4 results in a substantial reduction in
fiber/optic/port count which will in the long more than offset the
increased cost something that didn't really happen with 40gig.
