100%.
New boxes from Juniper that have shipped with a minimum of 10Gbps when
we still have 1Gbps use-cases has meant we've put orders off. 12 months
later, they have new iterations of the boxes now allowing for all the
way down to 1Gbps.
CloudyWorld is giving OEM's the impression that NetworkWorld also have
the same requirements. It's good to see some OEM's are getting back to
their roots, but it's not easy work.
DWDM vendors are the worst, because they look at all orders with DCI eye
glasses.
