Its pretty easy however most Ethernet switches won't accept OTU4. Some
exceptions like nokia 7250 IXR-10/6. However just about every DWDM
vendor has hardware that will do it. I Don't think fiberstore has 100G
muxponders.

I haven’t done it….but my impression is a dual mode QSFP28 such as the
above can connect OTU4 to an ethernet switch. There are cheaper ones
out there than FS. There’s now a Mikrotik with QSFP28 ports…..and
probably other low cost vendors are getting into it as well.
So I believe you could get one of these dual mode transceivers into a
switch or router of choice and then use SFP+ for your 10g paths.
Again, haven’t actually encountered OTU4 in the wild, I hope some
smart guy will correct me if I’m mistaken.

What are some of the more 'inexpensive' ways to break a OTU4 carrier
down to multiple 10g ethernet? Looking at aggregating a bunch of 10g
waves back to our DC on a single XC using OTU4 provided by the carrier?
