[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Hmm...

Take a look here:

This product (ONS 15216 Flexlayer filters) can be used with most single
mode 10GE links to multiplex both signals (TX and RX) on a single fiber
strand.

Cisco aren't doing 10Gbps yet - they are doing mux'ed 1Gbps links over
CWDM (can use LACP to connect up to 4Gbps):

For 10Gbps, consider the following vendors:

* MRV
* Transition Networks
* Ciena (acquired WWP)
