向下一代骨干传送网演进

Evolution Towards Next Generation Telecommunication Backbone Networks

本文首先分析了新时期所面临的巨大容量挑战 ,然后分析了IP业务对传送网结构的影响以及各种网络结构的比较 ,论述了走向OTN的历史必然性。接着介绍了光联网的核心———光交叉连接设备的分类与主要进展。最后简要讲述了IP层与光层的融合及网络的两种演进结构。

First the paper described a great capacity challenge for new era. Then, the paper analyzed the major impacts of IP traffic on transport network structures and made comparisons among different network structures and shown the nature trend towards OTN. Next the paper introduced categories of optical cross-connect equipment and main developments. Finally, convergence of IP layer and optical layer and two evolution structures were also presented.
