PLNOG 13: Susmita Adhikari: The Great ‘100G Metro’ Migration
description
Transcript of PLNOG 13: Susmita Adhikari: The Great ‘100G Metro’ Migration
The invention of optical amplifiers ushered the proliferation of WDM technology in network architectures boosting high capacity transmission with multiple 10 Gbps and/or 40 Gbps services per fiber. The non-stop boom in bandwidth-intense applications necessitates deployment of even higher capacity WDM systems. Carriers are in a tight spot to find relief and are now eyeing at 100 Gbps technology. For the migration to 100G-metro networks, economic viability is of paramount importance together with greater space, power and bandwidth efficiency. It is essential that the upgrade is immune to the current infrastructure and the deployment is possible with minimal disruption to existing services and is inherently flexible to further accommodate newer equipment as per demand. This presentation provides a primer in current 100G technology developments, with a focus on the two market available 100G transport approaches: multicarrier direct detection and single carrier coherent. Further on, important parameters and prerequisites supporting practicable 100G metro network solutions including fiber impairments and compensation techniques are elucidated. Different application scenarios with hybrid 10G/100G and multiple 100G transmissions are discussed. The 100G technology migration from network core to the edge is only a matter of time and the wait is for the 100G metro solution to meet the increasingly difficult technical and business expectations.

Metro traffic to grow 3x over next 5 years…
This year metro-only traffic is predicted to surpass long-haul traffic.
Metro-only traffic will grow nearly twice as fast as long-haul traffic from 2012 to 2017.

Today’s 100G migration dilemma
Is there a right solution?
When does it make sense to migrate- today / near(er) term
future?
Andrew Schmitt from Infonetics, October 2013:
“It is only used (today) when service providers must
use it, which means 1 of 2 situations:
insufficient fiber (and WDM) capacity to deploy more
10G traffic
a 100G private line service that needs to be
delivered — a 100G router port that must be sent
across the metro” 4

100G price / bps is still (and will be for some time) higher than at 1G/10G
E.g. 100GBase-LR4 roughly 100x 10GBase-LR pricing (“only” ca. 40x at
DWDM)
Higher complexity of 100G transport adds further cost (e.g. DCUs etc)

100Gbps is still not making sense for all Metro connections but
has become a valid solution for fiber constraint areas and native
100G port transport
100Gbps Direct Detect has become
a simple and low(er) cost solution.
Coherent Pluggables may become a good alternative
to Direct Detect, but price and complexity remains major issue
