Optical Network Platform Evolution

Traditional: Transport + DCS– Digital Hierarchy, DCS for interconnect– OC-n Hierarchy, linear and rings – High number of NEs & fiber (2.5G)

PMO: Optical Transport – OC-n/WDM hierarchy (CWDM, DWDM)– Linear, rings and mesh interconnect– Integrated circuit switching– Reduce number of NEs & fiber (WDM)

FMO: Optical and Packet Transport– Optical Network Intelligence– New Circuit Prov’n & Test Models– Integrated Packet Switching– Improved bandwidth utilization

Target: Integrated L2 Transport – Converged transport for all services– Grid Computing N/Ws, 100GE, TE– Reduced # of NE’s and interconnect
