Photonic Evolution
DWDM Coherent detection + DSP started a revolution in the DWDM
industry:
Eliminated the sensivity to the most significant impairment for high speed transmission over
fiber. Chromatic Dispersion.
Eliminated the sensivity to PMD. Old fibers life extended.
Performance for 40 and 100G channels similar to 10G.
Even gains in performance can be achieved when eliminating DCF. Latency improvements.
The carrier fits into the ITU-T 50GHz grid.
Absolute Mbit/s cost reduction.

9. DWDM strategy for evolving
Deploy brand new line systems
for the coherent channels
(100G). Maximize the benefits
brought by the coherent
technology eliminating the CD
compensators and the dual stage

11. DWDM strategy for evolving – time frame
Despite the very valuable industry working on developing the over 100G channels, it
seems 100G is going to have a longer and healthy life supporting the heavy traffic over
the networks.
Challenges for the super-channels and the flexible dynamic rate adaptation:
The reaching range for higher bandwidth. Wider networks may not get the
advantages of higher modulation formats due to the longer distances.
16QAM < 600km reaching.

16QAM < 600km reaching.
The coordination with the clients platform when reducing or increasing the
bandwidth of a channel. Policing for dropping traffic.

12. Backbone Efficiency - Discussions
OTN switching is still the best option combined to the ROADM to provide flexibility and
reliability in the network. Fast protection given by the electrical layer and CAPEX
savings provided by the OTN Switching + ROADM optical path restoration.

Router solution makes sense for about 20% of the service providers.
Everyone should make his own evaluation based on his environment/scenarios.

SDN – Soft Defined Network
Despite the many challenges to be faced by SDN, it comes with a
good rational and appeal for cost reduction on both OPEX and
CAPEX.
The network elements trend to be much simpler and focused on
lower OSI layers: Lower CAPEX.
The software APIs come to simplify the job for service delivering,
Transport Network Keep On Evaluating
The software APIs come to simplify the job for service delivering,
speeding it up and automatizing steps: Lower OPEX.
GMPLS can be a useful tool for the SDN approach in certain
phases/scenarios. Anyway the GMPLS health is getting weak.
GMPLS is still a requirement for the transport network platforms.
SDN approach is becoming also a requirement, at least as a roadmap.

simpler and lower layer technology for the access and aggregation
layers of the network.
The MPLS-TP based devices with static routing are leveraged as one of
the best options to support the transport in SDN and/or NFV approach.

27. Conclusions
OTN Switching has been consolidated as the technology option for the
backbone layer for best efficiency combined to the DWDM ROADM.
Control plane integration to the ROADM is becoming a mandatory
requirement.
SDN is raising up in the market as the unified and centralized multilayer
control plane option. Within the SDN time for evolving and consolidation
GMPLS continues as a mandatory requirement.
Transport Network Keep On Evaluating
GMPLS continues as a mandatory requirement.
The approach of simplified equipment/protocols deployed along the
transport network has been empowered by the SDN and/or NFV. The
more complex functions trend to be centralized and even virtualized.
Is time to start the proof of concept of SDN and NFV in order to start
shaping the network for the future. Will they be the new disruption in the
Operator/Service Provider networks??
