Drivers to Migrate from IP to IP/Optical

• ApplicationsDynamic and higher capacity bandwidth services for e-science

• PerformanceLow Latency to allow distributed computingHigh Throughput to maximize bandwidth

• Capacity & ScalabilityScaling from 1 Gbit/s to 1 Tbit/s connections

• It’s also about economics (“paradigm shift”)

Cost of optical transport decreasing faster than cost of routingLeverage access to dark fiber vs. leased circuit

Example of Drivers

• Need for higher capacity services for particle physics (ex: CERN LHC)

• Continuing the Trend: ~1000 times BW Growth per decade

• Capacity increase drives the need to learn how to use Multi-Gbpsconnections dynamically, and new technologies that are cheaper and more scalable

• High-end applications (visualization, VLBI, etc) demand specific low latency transport and guaranteed bandwidth

• Cost of photonic switches are 1/10 to 1/100 cheaper than SDH and IP router ports at 10G

GMPLS

•• MPLSMPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is the set of extensions to OSPF, IS-IS, and RSVP, CR-LDP to support the the routing of paths (aka traffic engineering)

Intrinsic is the notion of separating the forwarding (data) plane from the control (signaling) plane

Fundamental difference with IP and ATMBut uses same protocols developed by IETF

Data is transported across the network inside a path

•• GMPLSGMPLS is the generalization of MPLS and the realization of the MPλS concept, created by extended MPLS to support nonnon--packet packet paths (λ’s, time-slots, fibers)

Control Plane Standard Activities

• Question:What are the roles of ITU, OIF, IETF and GGF? Isn’t there some overlap (ex: E-NNI)?

• Answer:IETF: Develops GMPLS protocols + layer-3 perspectiveITU: Provides architecture requirements (ASON) and layer-1 operation perspectiveOIF: Develops implementation and addresses interoperability considerations for carriersGGF: develops Grid technology via “best practices”, technical specs, user experiences, and implementation guidelines.

They all play their role for the deployment of next-generation networks and provide the infrastructure for new GRID services

They have liaisons to coordinate efforts. Early commercial deployments (ex: KDDI) to set de-facto standards

Optical and Photonic Cross-Connects ?

• Question:What is the difference between an Optical-Cross-Connect (OXC) and a Photonic Cross-Connect (PXC)? Are they competitive?

• Answer:Optical XC is somewhat a misnomer as core switch fabric is electrical (O-E-O). Hence term Photonic XC to differentiate all-optical switch (O-O-O ).

They are complementary as they have different strengths:

OXC/MSPP: Grooming capability. Ideal for legacy SONET/SDH and sub-wavelength (OC-12, GbE, etc) traffic aggregation

PXC: Lower cost and high scalability (ex: up to 320 10G ports). Support true IP/Optics with 10GbE LAN-PHY switched over DWDM wavelength at 10th cost of switched SDH managed service. Future proof (40G ready, etc)

Photonic Switches and ROADM

• Question:Both Photonic Switches and ROADM provide some level of optical swicthing. Are they competitive?

• Answer:No. In the contrary they are complementaryROADMs: Integrated DWDM and cost optimized for rings, Limited switching capability (< 32x32)Photonic Switches: Larger switching capability (>32x32); Complementary functionalities including ring interconnect, mesh optical networking, optical multicasting, etc
