That's hardly factual. Cisco's CRS-1 carrier routing system can do 1152 (yes, one thousand, one hundred and fifty two) 40Gbits slots using eight fully populated fabric shelves with 72 line card shelves. That's about 46Tbits of routing capacity. I'm sure the wire clutter would be improved by jumping from 1152 40Gbits OC-768 circuits to 46 1Tbits circuits, no?
