[j-nsp] Different media in an AE cause framing issues?

[Morgan McLean]

Phil,

I can't imagine that BOTH connections I added to the AE are bad, whether it
be SFP related or Fiber related. And I'm using the same fiber and SFP's out
to the cabinets (with no issues as of yet), which leaves me with the DAC +
SFP on an AE is a bad idea.

Ben,

Ya I'm thinking thats my next step, only problem is this is in production,
and I would really hate to bring up an AE that drops packets out the ass. I
think people would notice that one...Might be able to test it in a lab if I
have the required stuff here.
