Abstract :
A new generation of optical transceivers for 100 Gigabit Ethernet client interconnection and line system transmission are now being developed and deployed for data center and transport applications. This article provides an overview and status of the 100 G Form-factor Pluggable Multi-Source Agreement for client applications and the Optical Internetworking Forum 100 G Transponder Module Implementation Agreement for long distance DWDM transmission applications.
