Abstract: Optical routing and related interface requirements

Presented by:

Ms. M. Jaeger
Deutsche Telekom


This presentation reviews basic concepts of optical routing in optically transparent networks and derives corresponding interface requirements. In general there are well-known routing algorithms. However, two additional issues have to be considered in optical networks, namely wavelength continuity and limited optical transparency lengths. These two problems have to be solved in the design of the optical interfaces and the control units. Solutions are presented and IETF concepts are outlined.
