Challenges
Increased traffic demands mean:
n
n n
Significant growth of the number of the services to deploy within the WDM network (more and more difficult to handle, to administrate, etc.) More dynamic nature of the services More diverse end points of the services
To meet these challenges networking approach shall be introduced in the DWDM networks instead of the static systems deployed today.
Static Networks
Based on fixed Wavelength filters

n
Topology and capacity/node determined at time of network design Traffic projection based upon best estimates at the time Frequent changes even during design/bid/deployment Not always cost effective to modify the system Can lead to premature system exhaust Expected system life time: 5 10 years No accurate traffic projections available for such a long period Insufficient No. of wavelengths available to hot spots Unlit wavelengths to cold spots cannot be utilized Topology is inconsistent for emerging applications Telephony, SAN, Enterprise, VoIP topologies looks different

Tunable ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) N-Degree T-ROADMs (N-Directions) Optical resilience and restoration System automation
Trade regeneration cost with transparent reach Cost / complexity of transponders Optically-routed network impairments: ROADMs, PMD, CD, Nonlinearities
Scalability:
100 Gigabit Ethernet transport
Moving to 100GE is to increase capacity, so Link capacity needs to be increased accordingly* In core networks, scalability of fiber links clearly advocate for higher spectrum efficiency and single wavelength solution with sophisticated modulation format. *Reminder: todays typical link Historically at 2.5G, typ. 32ch: 0.025 b/s/Hz (100 GHz) capacity is ~1 Tbit/s Typ. now at 10G: 0.2 b/s/Hz (50 GHz grid) (100x10G) Typ. now at 40G: 0.8 b/s/Hz (50 GHz grid)
Status: Substantial market interest for 100G Alcatel-Lucent Technology leadership including standards development
