  1. IP over DWDM NANOG May 24, 1999 Larry McAdams lmcadams@cisco.com

  2. Outline • Optical Transmission Fundamentals • DWDM Systems • IP over DWDM

  3. Its Analog Transmission Attenuation Dispersion Nonlinearity Reflectance Transmitted data waveform Waveform after 1000 km

  4. Fiber Attenuation • Telecommunications industry uses two windows: 1310 & 1550 • 1550 window is preferred for long-haul applications • Less attenuation • Wider window • Optical amplifiers 1550 window 1310 window l

  5. Fiber Dispersion Normal fiber Non-dispersion shifted fiber (NDSF) >95% of deployed plant 18 Wavelength l 0 Dispersion ps/nm-km 1310 nm 1550nm Reduced dispersion fibers Dispersion shifted fiber (DSF) Non-zero dispersion shifted fibers (NZDSF)

  6. Interference Dispersion • Dispersion causes the pulse to spread as it travels along the fiber • Chromatic dispersion is important for singlemode fiber • Depends on fiber type and laser used • Degradation scales as (data-rate)2 • Modal dispersion limits use of multimode fiber to short distances

  7. Polarization Mode Dispersion • Most severe in older fiber • Caused by several sources • Core shape • External stress • Material properties • Becomes an issue at OC-192

  8. Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) • Creates in-band crosstalk that can not be filtered • Problem increases geometrically with • Number of ls • Spacing between ls • Optical power level • Chromatic dispersion minimizes FWM

  9. Outline • Optical Transmission Fundamentals • DWDM Systems • IP over DWDM

  10. 40-80 km Terminal Terminal Regenerator - 3R (Reamplify, Reshape and Retime) 120 km Terminal Terminal EDFA - 1R (Reamplify) Terminal Terminal Terminal Terminal Terminal Terminal EDFAs Enable DWDM EDFA amplifies all ls

  11. ... ... EDFA Schematic • EDFAs amplify all ls in 1550 window simultaneously • Key performance parameters include • Saturation output power, noise figure, gain flatness/passband EDF EDF WDM Coupler WDM Coupler Optical Filter Optical Isolator Optical Isolator DCF 1480 Pump Laser 980 Pump Laser

  13. DWDM State-of-the-Art • Point-to-point systems • 40l x OC-48 deployed • 16l x OC-192 deployed • 160l x OC-192 announced • Configurable OADMs • Metro rings Data Rate 1-10 Tbps per fiber is just around the corner!

  14. Outline • Optical Transmission Fundamentals • DWDM Systems • IP over DWDM

  15. Synchronization for IP over DWDM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ FIBER • Point-to-point application • Synchronization driven from router • Router interface internal timed WDM REGEN OC-48c OC-48c DS1 Ethernet Ethernet Gig-Ethernet OC-3c T1 OC-12c SONETNETWORK OC-48c OC-48c PRS • SONET network application • Synchronization driven from network • Router interface timed to PRS via Rx OC-48c

  16. Protection for IP over DWDM • Optical protection is not sufficient • Only protects transmission infrastructure • Layer 3 must provide path restoration • Opportunity for differentiation at the service level Optical Cloud

  17. 100 km 25 dB 500 km Ciena 40l DWDM GSR 12000 SR OC-48 PoS RC TX RC TX RC TX RC TX GSR 12000 SR OC-48 PoS TX RC Error-free transmission over 20,000 kms without SONET regeneration

  18. Working Protect PRS Nortel 16l DWDM and OC-192 Ring Lack of transponders prohibits direct connections at OC-192

  19. Conclusion - IP over DWDM • Transmission is an analog problem • Proprietary solutions abound • DWDM provides 100s Gbps of capacity • Transponders are required for an open architecture • Large scale deployments have been achieved • IP directly over DWDM is a reality
