Speaker
Description
Optical networks are undergoing rapid evolution and have advanced considerably over the last 2-3 years. This presentation will update the audience on the latest trends within the industry with a focus on innovation within pluggable optics that are driving the resurgence in interest in IPoDWDM architectures and the drive towards Open Optical Networks. Of course "A tool is ever only as good as your ability to use it" so we'll pay particular attention to how these trends impact the management of the combined IP and Optical environment.
Summary
Optical networks are undergoing rapid evolution and have advanced considerably over the last 2-3 years. This presentation will be an update from the UKNOF49 presentation by Geoff Bennett and will explain how optical networking has evolved since then. The main focus will be:
- Evolution of intelligent coherent pluggable optics and the advanced capabilities that are moving into these high speed pluggables
- A quick (single slide) look at embedded optics evolution
- But keeping a real focus on deployability - how on earth do we manage these IPoDWDM environments?
- A look at how the optical line systems are evolving and the move to open optical networks - which is tightly linked to the move to IPoDWDM
- Finally a quick look at a couple of target applications
