  • Abstract
    In the 10-year horizon, optical networks may take evolutionary or revolutionary paths towards higher capacity, robustness, configurability, and flexibility. We will explore key technical challenges that are being pursued within the areas of monitoring for plug-&-play operation, packet switching, and traffic convergence.
