They’re out there. I’ve helped stand up carriers recently that sell them and have also bought such service from other carriers. At least for 100G.
I haven’t seen 400G Ethernet point to point services but also have not been asked to engineer to sell them either so I suspect that demand is either soft or the majority that want 400G point to point today are as Aaron says electing to serve that need via alternate solutions .

They still are. However, I rarely have seen that graduate to 100G ports and I don't think I've seen anyone talk about 400G ports. Is the hardware not there, or is it more a case of the technology hasn't been deployed widely, so it'll only be seen at a limited number of locations? I'm assuming it's more of the latter as the bigger hardware I've been looking at touts those features and port sizes, but maybe there's some other unadvertised limitation. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions<http://www.ics-il.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/googleicon.png]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange<http://www.midwest-ix.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/mdwestix> The Brothers WISP<http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/youtubeicon.png]<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg>
