Okay,

But if I imagine crs-1 (my favorite example) with same limitation
(currently) of 40g per slot I don't see how it is 100G ready. Some say
that its because they will introduce 100g switching matrix
concurrently to new 100 LC, I am not 100% conviced that it satisfies
"100G ready" label. For me ready is now, crs-1/7600 is 40g ready but
not 100g.
It may never be.

That's why I don't understand position of this platform comparing to asr9k...

Best Regards,
