[c-nsp] SFP & GBIC module compatibility

[Pak Tong Poy]

Hi list,

>From my understandings, SFP or GBIC are of open standard. And the standard
modules should work with any router. Is it a marketing ploy that some
vendors (say Cisco reseller) say that we must buy the modules from them in
order have 100% compatibility?

My experience is limited with a few modules that I found to work
cross-platforms without any issues. Would like to know your experiences.

many thanks & best regards,
