Linear Optical Imparement SolutionsAttenuation
EDFA’s can help overcome attenuation, applied per span, but add noise
…Hybrid Raman/EDFA amplification can overcome attenuation with minimal noise. FEC also helps.
Polarization Mode Dispersion
Generally have to live with it. Regenerate signal when required.
…Now compensated for in Digital Signal Processing via Coherent Detection
Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR)
Nothing can overcome losses in OSNR! Must regenerate!
…But advanced Forward Error Correction can lower OSNR requirements
Chromatic Dispersion
DCU’s can help mitigate dispersion problems, applied per span, but add cost, latency, and loss
…Now compensated for in Digital Signal Processing via Coherent Detection

Improve OSNR Performance with FEC
• FEC extends reach and design flexibility, at “silicon cost”
• G.709 standard improves OSNR tolerance by 6.2 dB (at 10–15 BER)
• Offers intrinsic performance monitoring
(error statistics)
• Higher gains (8.4dB) possible by enhanced
FEC (with same G.709 overhead)
• Yet Higher gains by Soft decision (SD)

SD-FEC – What is it ?• Enhancing Performance is key as we push new modulation schemes to their
reach limits and attempt to eliminate regenerators in networks.
• 2dB improvement – 1000Km additional reach
Hard Decision (HD)
Single bit Decisions : Yes or No
One or Zero
Soft Decision (SD)
Probability decisions : Very likely, likely,
...undecided, ... very unlikely

• SONET/SDH Client Systems 10G with no plans or need for additional capacity
• Packet Services growing rapidly and stressing 10G DWDM systems
40G/100G DWDM Upgrades
• Fixes the demand and fiber exhaust issues
• More capacity per lambda
• Mismatch between some client systems and lambda b/w

ROADM BackgroundROADM brought flexibility to DWDM networks.
Any wavelength. Anywhere.
But it was a static flexibility.
Moves and changes required a truck roll.
26
© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKSPG-2116
ROADM Background
Colored Add/Drop
Fixed port frequency assignment
One unique frequency per port
Directional Add/Drop
Physical add/drop port is
tied to a ROADM “degree”
Due to these restrictions, a change in direction or frequency of an optical circuit
required a physical change (move interface to different port) at the endpoints.
… because ROADM ports were colored and directional.
27
© 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKSPG-2116
ROADM Advances
Colorless Add/Drop
No port-frequency assignment
Any frequency, any port
Omni-Directional Add/Drop
Add/Drop ports can be routed
to/from any ROADM degree
Colorless and Omni-directional add/drop bring touchless
flexibility, and hence programmability, to ROADM networks.
With Colorless plus Omni-Directional, the frequency and direction of the signal
can be changed, without requiring a change of ROADM add/drop port.
28

ROADM Advances
Directional Add/Drop
ROADMs are by definition
Contentionless
With Contentionless, N instances of a given wavelength (where N = the number of
line degrees in the ROADM node) can be add/dropped from a single device,
eliminating any restrictions on dynamic wavelength provisioning.
Contentionless allows multiple
instances of the same frequency to
add/drop from one unit.
But…Colorless and Omni-directional introduce wavelength
contention at the add/drop stage. Need a Contentionless
architecture.
29

Transmitter can tune its laser’s
frequency to any channel in the
ITU grid.
Tunable lasers work with colorless add/drop to enable touchless changes in the
frequency of an optical signal. Coherent receivers simplify the construction of
colorless and omni-directional ROADM nodes, by eliminating the need to de-
multiplex a signal down to the individual wavelength.
Receiver can select any channel
from of a composite (unfiltered)
signal.
Tunable lasers and coherent receivers are also key

Optical GMPLS Control PlaneWavelength Switched Optical Network
• Traditional optical control planes (e.g. ASON) assume a homogenous physical layer (regen everywhere, no L0 issues)
• WSON is defined in several IETF drafts, which add these key components to GMPLS
– Routing and Wavelength Assignment
– Distribution / collection of Channel Impairments, Path optical characteristics, other affected channels
• Impairment calculation is distributed
– Reasonable computation requirements on Network Elements
– No heavy reliance on DCN bandwidth, delay, and availability
– Centralized, but online computation certainly possible.

Local Optimization/Global Optimization for WSON
• Minimize the need for intensive optical Impairment calculation
• Develop new Algorithm (LOGO) to deal with complex propagation models of channel in fiber – Simple Analytical Formula
• Interactions of optical signal with fiber during transmission can be modeled as Gaussian Noise, similar to the noise introduced by optical amplification, when some conditions are verified:
• 100G coherent systems
• No Dispersion compensation of fiber link
• Sufficiently dispersive fibers (no DS fiber)
• The noise level depends on fiber characteristics, spectral density on fiber (channel grid) and per-channel power.

• If rapid failure detection and recovery is needed it is
assumed that existing packet IP/ MPLS mechanisms
(e.g., BFD, IP-FRR, TE-FRR,LDP-FRR, mLDP-FRR,
fast convergence) will be used for protection and
recovery.
• IP+Optical Solutions can use Proactive Protection
• Protected services (Y-cable, PSM, FiberSwitch) could
be used for valuable traffic to provide rapid protection
at the optical layer.
• Restoration is Best Effort
Restoration is Slower than Protection

Let’s integrate WSON with IP Control PlaneControl Plane leverages Signaling to automate steps we do manually today.
•Two main models of Control Plane are available:
• Peer Model – Optical NEs and Routing NEs are one from the control plane perspective. Routing has full visibility into the optical domain and vice versa.
• Overlay Model – Having different Control Planes per layer / Application and having a signaling protocol running between them to make requests

How do we Simplify
• In its simplest form SDN provides for separation of control from data plane while centralizing the control plane.
• Applications will drive the network behavior in the SDN Architecture
• Cisco believes in an Hybrid Multi Layer SDN Architecture

Multilayer Hybrid SDN Architecture
• ML Hybrid SDN Architecture is based on:
• Centralized Control for Optimization and Global views
• Distributed Control for Fast Reaction to Network issues
• Application Space:
• Cisco and Third Party Applications. Leveraging REST APIs, interface to Orchestration layer or directly to Controller
• Orchestration Layer:
• Service Orchestration across domains or a number of controllers. Cisco solution will also allow for direct device deployment
• Controller Layer:
• Unified Multi Layer Platform. WAN Controller, vendor agnostic, acting on all layers of the -> L0 to L3

The SDN Network Architecture Concept
• The ML Hybrid SDN Architecture:
• Application Layer – Cisco or 3rd Party SW apps
• Orchestrator – Orchestrates between domain controllers
• Controller Layer – Unified ML Controller, vendor and layer agnostic
• Network Elements – Packet, OTN and DWDM elements.
• Architecture shall leverage:
• Centralized Controller for Optimizations and Activation
• Distributed Controller for fast reaction to local events
• ML Applications become key

What is Multi Layer Restoration Concept?
• MLR-O: restoration from failures in the optical domain, that can leverage the same router interfaces at both ends
• MLR-P: restoration from Network Element port failures, or the link between the router and the ROADM.
• MLR-A: restoration of edge Element capacity from a failure of an aggregation element.
• MLR-C: restoration of core network topology from failure of a core element.
• MLR-D: recovery from a large scale disaster that may involves an entire PoP, multiple fiber links or multiple elements.

Restoration for Optical Failures example
Premium: 30G
BE: 90G
3x 100G Worst-case stable:
120G on 300G
Avg IP util: 120/300= 47%%
Premium: 30G
BE: 90G
Worst-case transient:
120G on 200G. BE loss
Avg IP util: 120/200= 60%= Worst-
case stable:
120G on 100G: possible BE loss=
60%
In a real SP network: 10-34% less interfaces
(less router ports, less transponders, less wavelengths, less power, more scale)
