PONC 2024: Day 1 Session 3 Open Networking Multivendor Convergence
The session covers open networking, multi-vendor convergence, open line systems, co-interfaces, plug-and-play models, and open management for multi-layer networks.
MAIN POINTS FROM TRANSCRIPT
- Open line systems allow connecting transponders or optics from any vendor to a line system.
- Open co-interfaces involve line sight improbable DW optics in MSA packages.
- Open management is crucial for multi-layer, multi-vendor, multi-domain networks.
TAKEAWAYS
- Open networking supports vendor-agnostic connectivity for optical systems.
- Plug-and-play models enhance the integration of CO and DWM optics.
- Open config advances device automation in complex network environments.
