  1. Optical Data Networking: “IP over X”Antonio Rodríguez Moral* & Paul BonenfantLucent Technologies – Broadband Networks Group*arodmor@lucent.com Globecom’99 5 – 9 December 1999 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

  2. IP over SDH STM-16c IP over SDH STM-16c Multiple SDH STM-16 Wavelengths SDH-Based WDM Terminal SDH-Based WDM Terminal “IP over WDM” Demystified Implementation Reality • “Optical Internetworking”? • Really is SDH Internetworking • Implies single evolution for data transport • “Networking”: Service layer networking through SDH/WDM pipes • SDH dependency limits technological innovation (e.g., Packet over Fiber, GbE and 10xGbE over DWDM evolution) • Not taking advantage of networking capability at the Optical layer • A STEP AWAY from the original vision of Optical Networking...

  3. IP SONET/SDH FDDI ATM SDL GbE, 10xGbE PDH FECData OChOAM OCh Payload Optical Channel (Wavelength) Digital Wrapper 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 DWDM” (really)? • In an increasingly competitive world, Service Providers have to differentiate themselves. • Optical Data Networking solutions should be able to accommodate each Service Provider’s unique data networking vision...

  5. 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... Does a “Total Solution” Exist ??

  6. ...to a Multi-Dimensional Problem! Hard QoS Soft QoS Enterprise Access Best Effort Voice+Video Metro/Regional VPN Traffic Mix Core Web browsing Network Segment End Application Evolution Circuits Packets Flows

  7. 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 network segment, and to each Service Provider

  8. Views of the “Total Solution(s)”Optical Data Networking • Gaining Multi-Vendor Compliance • Standards, Standards, Standards... • Survivability Schemes • Service Layer / Transport Layer will both apply, and continue to co-exist • Integrating Legacy and Optical Networks • Revolutionary technologies (DWDM, OAs, Digital Wrappers) have enabled an evolution in networking (Optical Networking) • Optical Network Deployment (let’s be honest...) • Optical Networking solutions will be deployed where economical to the Service Provider • Optical Networking solutions must meet price targets of existing/alternative technologies, or offer solutions to problems for which there is no alternative • Management Systems to Guarantee QoS • “Single-seat” distributed operations platforms, or bust • The Future is about a Network of Networks – Some Common Sense (worth repeating): • THERE EXISTS NO SINGLE SOLUTION...
