The ubiquity and critical role of core IP routers, and the emergence of label switching routers based on multi-protocol label switching technology, when combined with optical transport networks has also raised the issue of optimized network architectures for the Optical Internet. In marketing terms, the notion of \"IP over WDM\" makes for remarkable hype. What is meant by \"IP over WDM\", however, is less than clear. The intention of this paper is to demystify the notion of \"IP over WDM\", and in doing so, to indicate what features may be required in future \"collapsed\" data/transport networks.","PeriodicalId":415720,"journal":{"name":"2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings.

The paper describes two kinds of optical nodes enabling circuit and packet switching connections. Two introduction scenarios have been proposed: one for the backbone and a second for the metro. A strong need for a new framing in the point-to-point transmission layer is highlighted. This paper clearly indicates that optical techniques have a great potential in the network, not only for the point-to-point transmission but also in the nodes to simplify the protocol and to converge progressively towards ATM&IP/optical packets/WDM while being compatible with QoS requirements.","PeriodicalId":415720,"journal":{"name":"2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings.
