I've been looking at the Waveserver line, so this is somewhat relevant
to my interests.
Given that this is a "not uncommon", do you or anyone else happen to
know if there are other options such as e.g. configuring the port for
only one of Ethernet or OTU service?
Based on how the issue was described in the report, the problem seems to
occur if there are multiple ports on the line card configured with
different mixes of Ethernet and OTN on ports 3 and 11, as well as on
ports 4, 8, 12, and 16.
The 2nd scenario is if on Waveserver, 400G Ethernet is enabled on ports
6 and 12, but a mix of both Ethernet and OTN are configured on ports 6,
7, 12, and 13 without 400G.
The 3rd scenario is 400G Ethernet and OTN mixed between ports 4 and 10.
It's all very confusing.
I'd certainly raise this with your Ciena account team before shelling
out any cash, if you are keen to use them.
