Steve,
Happy to accept the shipment & install, if that is the way that it works
out.
It looks like we (Dave Farmer & FWR) will be putting up a second Gig link
over copper between the CNS & core MICE sw later this AM.

That sounds like this might be an ideal short-term fix.  Feel free to
plug into Gig 0/2 on the CNS switch.  We didn't leave any optics down
there, you will need to provide a Cisco (or compatible) SFP. 
Alternatively, you could consider doing a 10Gig connection.  Your peak
was almost 600Mbps last night!  If you want to do 10Gig, you'll need X2
optics for the CNS switch.  Let me know and I'll assign a 10Gig port.

CNS will donate use of 10Gig LR optics to MICE for use in the CNS switch
to connect to the Juniper switch.  Unfortunately, those optics are in
Bemidji.  I will check to see if anybody here is going to the Cities
today, if so I will send the optics with them, if not, I will overnight
them to Mike Hemphill at FWR.  (Mike, I hope that is OK with you).

Thanks,
   Steve
