Another very interesting feature related to the MAN connectivity devised by ANSP is its

flexibility to support higher bandwidth demands. A prominent example of this flexibility is

demonstrated by the fact that we can easily upgrade the entire link between SPRACE and the

ONS-15454, by just plugging MRV model TM-DXFP 10 Gbps transponders directly into the

LD800 boxes, thus enabling SPRACE to fully utilize the WHREN-LILA link upgrade to 10

Gbps, being planned to occur in 2008.
