Abstract:
We show a new generation reconfigurable add drop optical node architecture in the context of evolution of the flexible photonic layer in telco networks. We compare the proposed node architecture with the existing classic reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer (ROADM) architectures and also directionless, colorless and gridless techniques.We focus particularly on various aspects of the quality of service in optical network, such as blocking probability and full automation including touchless provisioning of bandwidth and a reduction of manual errors. Additionally, we stress the benefits of the proposed node architecture in both near term and long term future.
