Add in the fact that optical sniffing, while not impossible by any means today, will increasingly become non-trivial as bandwidth increases. Which is exactly one of the 'problems' they expect optical network to solve.You mean just expensive, right? i.e. a couple transponders and an OC48 or OC192 switch. Depending on what you are trying to gather, it will also become more difficult at higher speeds to due the data volume. But you are right in that it's more about money than effort in the end. - kurtis -
