Optical Data Networking: “IP over X” Antonio Rodríguez Moral* Paul Bonenfant Lucent Technologies – Broadband Networks Group*arodmor@ Globecom’99 5 – 9 December 1999 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil “IP over WDM” Demystified Implementation Reality Enter “Digital Wrappers” Wavelength Digital Wrappers are a step toward the original vision of Optical Networking Digital Wrappers enable “virtual transparency” Releases the Optical Network from SONET/SDH dependency Allows for end-to-end Optical Transport Networking solutions What is “IP over WDM”?Take Your Pick... Does a “Total Solution” Exist ?? A total solution for what problem? And is it really ONE single solution, or a set of solutions? The problem: Optical Data Networks: optical networks that are optimized for data traffic (let’s say IP traffic) and applications Four dimensions pop up already: what network segment? what optimization? what IP traffic? what user and network applications? And some other dimensions must be considered: Greenfield vs. Incumbent IP-only vs. Multi-service platform So, the problem is a multi-dimensional problem, with at least 6 dimensions to consider. A quick, common sense statement: THERE EXISTS NO SINGLE SOLUTION THAT OPTIMIZES THE PROBLEM UNDER ALL POSSIBLE VARIABLES... ...to a Multi-Dimensional Problem! Optical Internetworking vs. Optical Data Networking Optical Internetworking is today’s “IP over WDM”: “Optical”: Optical layer provides point-to-point transport (DWDM) “Internetworking”: IP layer provides networking Optical/Data Networking is a more powerful networking solution: Networking at both the transport (optical) and service (data) layers Optical networking supports: Diversity in data networking protocols and architectures Flexibility and robustness via wavelength (Optical Channel) routing, protection, and restoration Essential for open, giga/tera-bit, carrier-class Optical Data Networks optimized for network segments/applications Allows tailored solutions specific to each netw
