An OC-1 is an STS-1 (DS3 with sonet info) equivalent, only optical. Bill is correct about not having 9,18,34..etc because you can carve those out of a bigger OC-3,12,48 pipe down to the VT1.5 (DS1) granularity (on most transport platforms). Most platforms above OC12 do not go below OC3 or DS3, but some newer ones do. The vast installed base of OC12 and OC48 muxes (Lucent, Fujitsu) do not. > > You will see OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and OC-192.

What will be seen in the data world is 10Gb Ethernet which is equivalent to an OC-192. 10Gb Ethernet should not use SONET technology but plug directly into your WDM system taking a lambda. This is ignoring 10GbE over copper, but its the same idea. The WDM gear will support both OC192 and 1/10 GbE. Gear from Sycamore supports 1GbE and POSIP/SONET in the same box.
