Abstract

Several network studies are presented that investigate various properties of optical networks, especially with regard to the economics of optical bypass. The studies are intended to provide guidance on how best to evolve a network as traffic levels continue to grow, and also to shed light on some of the desirable properties for a system vendor's portfolio. It includes investigations into speculative technology, where the studies identify trends and uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the various schemes in order to provide guidance with respect to future development efforts.
