Any good Wave Boxes to do this?

I have seen boxes from MRV and others that will do 2GE into an OC48. I really feel bad about "wasting" that 500mb/s on essentially an IP application, but can't really justify putting OC48 ports into a catalyst 6500 of this application.

Likewise, uplinking to a GSR just to get cheaper OC48 ports doesn't make sense when you count the cost of the GE ports.

Is there a good box out there that will say take 2xOC48 and give me 5 GEs?

Thanks,

Have you looked at the ONS 15454 ? You won't waste the bandwidth and you TDM capabilities as well. You can use the muxponder cards to put 4 OC-48 IR1310s into 1 OC-192 as well. You could also use CWDM and just run straight GE, or do you have to use OC-48 for transport?

Basically, we are trying to aggregate GEs onto the smallest number of OC48s to reduce the number of CWDM waves we burn. Basically, we'd rather be able to put 10GEs onto 4 OC48s instead of 5.

One way to accomplish this would be to put 4 OC-48 OSMs into the 6500s, but that hardly seems cost-effective.

You wont be able to fint 10 GEs into an OC192, you'll only fit 9 and you
have to decode the 8b10 coding of the GE, and all this only to save 11% of
BW.

I suspect this is the reason we see 2GE <->OC48, it's much easier and
cheaper than anything else.
