Latency on a Line-Amplified, DWDM Backbone Network

Tags:
dwdm

Overview This white paper focuses on the fixed link propagation delay through a line-amplified, DWDM core network. It presents calculations of latency based on transmission delay through optical fiber segments and compares them to round-trip ping measurements made via the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). The comparison was made over two segments of a core network: one being over 10,370 km of pure, non-dispersion shifted fiber (SMF-28TM) and the other being a 9,598 km segment with a mixture of SMF-28 and LEAF.Message Protocol (ICMP). The comparison was made over two segments of a core network: one being over 10,370 km of pure, non-dispersion shifted fiber (SMF-28TM) and the other being a 9,598 km segment with a mixture of SMF-28 and LEAF.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
