It has nothing to do with DWDM itself, but the specific DWDM mux of your 
carrier may not support Ethernet. In fact if it is non-metro, it probably 
doesn't. 1G is generally considered too small to be a native wavelength 
for anything non-metro, most longhaul systems are 2.5G or 10G waves. A lot 
of newer systems support 10GE as well as OC192 over 10G waves, but a lot 
of existing deployed systems don't.

Bottom line, not a Juniper problem. Consult your provider to determine the 
type of gear you are on, and if their wavelength can support GigE.
