From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IPoDWDM

IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) is a technology used in telecommunications networks to integrate IP Routers and
Switches in the OTN (Optical Transport Network). A true IPoDWDM solution is implemented only when the
IP Routers and Switches support ITU-T G.709.[1] In this way IP devices can monitor the optical path and
implement the transport functionality as FEC (Forward Error Correction) specified by ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 [2]
or Super FEC functionality defined in ITU-T G.975.1.[3]

Benefits
This approach safes network components including shelves, processors, interfaces cards and hence it permits to
reduce the power consumption, OPEX (Operational expenditure) and CAPEX (capital expenditure). This
approach realize also a simplification of network, eliminating the SDH/SONET intermediate layer. See for
example [1] (http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/29/02/T29020000090053PDFE.pdf) ,.[4]

Multivendors
A DWDM network can be realized using different vendor technology from the IP devices as far as they support
Alien Wavelength transmission specified by ITU-T G.698.2,.[5][6]
