    Infinera-Tunable Colorless Network Nodes-Morkel

    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes and compares different types of dynamic optical nodes: 1) Colorless, directionless (CD) ROADMs allow flexible wavelength routing but tributary ports are dependent on wavelength and degree. 2) Colorless, directionless, contentionless (CDC) ROADMs provide even more flexibility by making tributary ports independent of wavelength and degree. 3) Integrating ROADMs with an OTN fabric provides the most flexibility by enabling both wavelength and sub-wavelength grooming and routing, while keeping nodal costs comparable to CD and CDC ROADMs. This integrated approach offers the greatest potential to reduce overall network costs.
