Virtex-4 FX transceiver jitter

Hi,
Does anyone know if the (just announced) Virtex-4 FX transceivers will
have jitter characteristics suituable for SONET work at 10Gb/s?

The current (V2PX) transceivers aren't able to meet the jitter specs,
forcing the use of external SERDES devices.

There's not much real information on the web page yet.

TIA,
Allan.

Talk to your FAE. They have been trained in Virtex-4. Failing that they have
access contacts for more information on jitter. Sorry I can't say more but
until it is public NDAs apply.
