“…Not only is this an extremely difficult task to achieve for what is essentially an analog network design problem, it is hampered by the rich diversity of options for optical transmission. 7 For example, the optimal choice of operating wavelengths for a WDM line system is dependent on a number of factors, including type of fiber, OA technology, filter technology, span distance, and overall target reach for the system. In general, the choice of operating wavelengths is dictated by a combination of underlying technology choices coupled with the envisioned application(s).…”

Optical transport networks (OTNs) will quickly evolve from dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) Public telecommunications relies on an extremely diverse network of networks with widely varying topologies, deployed technologies, services, and underlying business models. A practical vision for optical networking is one that goes beyond point-to-point WDM transmission to address the practical needs of this diverse networking environment. It encompasses the progression of applications from long haul capacity expansion today toward a unified end-to-end optical network spanning access, metropolitan (or metro), and long haul domains. A practical vision for optical transport networks-a vision of networks that are widely deployable, highly reliable and maintainable, readily evolvable, and demonstrably cost effective-is now at hand. This paper lays out this practical vision, placing it in the context of other networking trends, and addresses the most critical factors to consider in designing optical transport networks.

“…The basic approach in the packet over wavelength solutions is to map the packets directly onto WDM-compatible optical links, typically by combining a packet delineation method and a physical layer. WDM is currently being standardized in the ITU-T for optical networking 16 and is layered according to optical channels, an optical multiplex section, and an optical transmission section.…”

“…The focus on the particular case of slotted ring topologies (multichannel slotted rings), which have become an attractive solution for all-optical LANs and MANS were considered. This is due to the successful progress [2] achieved in optical amplifiers to compensate for insertion losses at intermediate nodes. Rings allow for slot synchronization even at extremely high data rates; hence, they offer an efficient and flexible use of the available optical bandwidth for packet communication.…”
