Challenges – IP Layer
•  Traffic growth vs. CAPEX and OPEX reduction!!
–  L3 equipment are still expensive….40GE and 100GE
–  Maintenance service
•  10GE became standard Interfaces…
–  10GE access to Router directly or via switch?
•  Backbone capacity … n x 10G
– 
– 
– 
– 
Can your routers support 40 or 100GE with non-line blocking?
Line card of 40G/100G still so expensive
What is the forecast of international capacity growth?
Buy T4000 or CRS3???.......
•  No visibility of Layer0/1 transport layers
–  Pacnet is better position
•  One Engineering team look after all layers!!!

Multiple VLAN or PHY over 40GE / 100GE interfaces
Per VLAN goes to another POP using OTU frames
Flexible BW allocation per VLAN
Possibly RSVP-TE establish a path with BW, Protection, SRLG
MPLS-TP is also possible option within OTN Domain
