[c-nsp] ONS 15454 and GigE

[John Neiberger]

An interesting situation has arisen where we might be able to get a type
of OC-48 for not much more than a point-to-point OC-3. Our provider
already has an ONS 15454 on-site and they would want to hand off the
OC-48 to us. We don't have the hardware to terminate an OC-48 but it
does appear that the 15454 can hand off GigE to us. It looks to me like
a card is available that, in effect, "bridges" the OC side to the GigE
side. Is that true?

Regardless, is it overly complicated to take in an OC-48 on one side
and hand that off via GigE on the customer side?

It should be apparent that I know nearly nothing about the ONS 15454,
so be gentle. :-)

Thanks!
John
