Abstract

The recent traffic explosion, triggered by the Internet, is reflected in the succession of announcements in the US market of larger capacity WDM point-to-point transmission systems. Not only has the traffic volume of data communication increased, but also requirements for new high speed services are becoming more tangible. In the near future, high-speed services will spread rapidly, and when the service price falls under some threshold, the second traffic explosion will occur.
