The intersection of optical transport and routing in next generation networks

Innovations in networking will change the way you think about optical transport and IP routing. Key advances in coherent optical technology and routing platforms are destined to intersect in a way that will disrupt how metro, regional, and long-haul backbone networks are built. In this talk we will explore these innovations and their applicability to metro, regional, and long-haul backbone networks. You will better understand the potential for this to condense layers, simplify operations and drive higher resiliency. We will also discuss enhancements at the packet layer to ensure continued support for high speed wavelength services with path determinism, transparency, protection, and SLA assurance.
