We use Tellabs, and it works.

I'm quite impressed by Infinera, particularly if you're the 
kind of shop that will be pushing no less than 10Gbps hauls 
across your backbone, and also need to extend GMPLS 
awareness into the IP network.

The problem with IPoDWDM and optical kit is that most 
haven't been built for colored port density, Infinera 
included.

You'd expect that traditional telco guys won't expect to be 
NNI'ing with ISP's at the DWDM layer :-).
