Hi folks interested in WSON in Minneapolis, we've got the Ramsey Room in
the Hilton, Tuesday (today) from 3:20PM-5:20PM for our extra WSON
discussion session.
When I last checked this room was set up in "meeting room"
configuration, that is, everyone around a big table. This is good for
discussion but there wasn't a projector. Some of the slides we were
going to use are:
Existing optical draft discussion:

Optical Impairment:

http://www.grotto-networking.com/sites/default/files/WSON-impairments-info%20CCAMP-IETF-73-V2.ppt
Please download these so you can follow along. Others with slides,
please let folks know where to get them so folks can follow along on
their laptops.
Also, I highly recommend that folks go to the ITU-T web page for the G
series of recommendations http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G/e and pickup
the PDFs for *G.671* (characteristics of optical components and
subsystems), *G.680* (transfer functions of optical networks elements),
and *G.697* (optical monitoring). No excuses! these are free and you
should have these if you are interested in optical impairments.
Regards
Greg
