RE: Switching Capability of Photonic Links with Transponder
Hi, Diego and Julien
"OEO transponder that can only perform frequency switching lambda1 ßlambda 2."
I think this device should be advertised as lambda switch capable, if the optical signals sent
from this transponder are directily connectied to WDM networks (such as ROADM ring or transparent OXCs).
But, it is not problem this interface is advertised as fiber switch capable,
if the optical signal send from the transponder is terminated by electrical reciever in next hop node.
Perhaps, if we properly incorporate this case into the GMPLS frame work, I think
we need the concept of "colored TE-link" and "colorless TE-link" even to GMPLS control plane.
In colorled TE-Link, the switching capability in both end take care the color of optical signal
even even if number of optical signal in the colered TE-link is unity.
I think we need updated drafts describing photonic networks with consideration of recent progress of
optical transport technologies.
