Optimizing for Network Intra-POP Interconnections With Very Short Reach Interfaces
Overview Cisco Systems has developed VSR-1 technology, the first functional 10-Gbps SONET/SDH interface that provides a low-cost, standard solution optimized for Very Short Reach (VSR) optical interconnections. As service providers move to 10-Gbps speeds to meet tremendous increases in traffic loads, VSR-1 helps enable cost-effective scaling of IP networks. Service provider networks employ a variety of network elements, generally including IP routers (Layer 3), SONET, ATM, or wavelength switches (Layer 2), and transport systems (Layer 1). The interconnection (or peering) of each Point Of Presence (POP) with the other POP through the highest-bandwidth core WAN transport network is the basis of complete internetworking of all end users.
