Yes, yes, I know. Multiple carriers, WDM, etc. is "cheating". |
Aware of transmission technology going well beyond 100Gb at layer 1 over a single fibre, but the individual layer 2 links going across that will max out at 100Gb. 1Tb Ethernet isn't on the radar for right now.
Even way back when I was messing with ISP networks fibres carrying 96 x 10Gb wasn't infeasible, problem was all the kit to connect them to once they'd been dropped out of the mux.
Multiple carriers isn't cheating, it's absolutely necessary for 100Gb with the exception of 100GBASE-ZR
