5. The Service Mix: Circa 2010 The Market Moves On…
Mixture of “sub-10G” services
Service mix becomes dominated by 10G
Shift to Ethernet as the service interface
40GbE is emerging, but limited adoption
100GbE in development
Need for digital grooming is reduced
Service Churn
But an inflection point was just around the corner!

6. The Shift to 100G: Circa 2012, Infinera DTN-X
