Evolution Towards Volume Deployable 40-Gbps Networks

Overview Despite the slowdown in the deployment of telecommunication equipment in the early 2000s, the demand for bandwidth hasn't stopped increasing. The explosion of video traffic has dictated new requirements on the network, which for a long time has been carrying voice traffic. This paper discusses the different options available to service providers and network operators to evolve today's 10-Gbps based transport network to higher capacity and highlights the key considerations, pros and cons of each option.
