Abstract: | Optical network interconnection enables low-cost networks integrating IP, ATM, SONET/ SDH and DWDM technologies.Due to eliminating SONET/SDH and ATM elements, and allowing direct connection with IP routers and ATM equipment in the second phase of configuration, DWDM can reduce network cost and simplifies network expansion.The introduction of new technologies and NEs has brought about interoperability issues, and it is necessary to set up open DWDM systems, which will promote the development of the optical network interconnection standards. |
