definitely not, I guess the system basically must have an ethernet switch
included which does the conversion and buffering between the faster
(asynchronous transport layer) lan phy port and the slower (synchronous
transport layer) wan phy port...

Some metro DWDM systems (e.g. optera metro) can do it today, but I guess
they couldn't do it either two years ago...
