[c-nsp] RAD's MiTOP-E3/T3 SFP to ME3600x(-cx) ???

Hi Saku,

It they do the 1GE version that would be awesome though the data sheet I
found mentioned 100Mbps

The data-sheet I found mentioned MPLS and PW as well

Wow so it's like an IP MUX in an SFP kind a thing?

there. I like it.
Right, that's exactly what we intend it for just to backhaul couple of
legacy connections here and there using the Ethernet devices on site

I tested them few years ago when they only had 100M model, which I couldn't
use as my target platform only accepted 1GE optics.
Now it supports 1GE electric interface and I'd need to take a peek again.

It's essentially SFP form-factor and SFP powered router. So you might need
to consider stuff like configuration backups.

But it's quite nice value proposition if you just need few E1 here and
there. I like it. 
Maybe market will follow and do HQoS in a SFP etc :)

I think it's tunneled over IP.

Most IP networks are very low jitter these days, I expect it to work in
uncongested HW switched network just fine.

Let me know about your experiences as I've been meaning to retest it now
that it actually would work in my gear.

I think it's just product name.
