Abstract

The transport network, mainly based on optical infrastructure, see a traffic increase, which introduces new requirements and challenges. This paper provides a summary of the trends that will bring bandwidth optimisation in WDM core networks, and will thus require the progressive introduction of optical packet switching techniques.
