Optical SDN enabling technologies
1010 October 2017 Colt Optical SDN Innovation
Enabling Technology Description
Programmable ROADMOptical wavelength switch with colourless/directionless(/contentionless)
capability
Super-ChannelHigher speed composite P2P channel made of individual optical sub-
channels
Sliceable BW-variable
Transponder
One line interface supporting multiple services with different light paths
Flexible GridNew WDM frequency grid improving spectral efficiency with fine 6.25GHz
granularity
SD-ModulationConfiguration of modulation technique (QPSK, BPSK, 8QAM, etc.) in
software depending on optical link conditions
Alien Wave /OLS/Open
ROADM
Adoption of openness in optical, supporting mix of transponder and
ROADM systems
Flexible Ethernet (Flex MAC)Bringing flexibility to the client layer (e.g. rate control)
GMPLS/PCEP/BGP-
LS/OpenFlow
Control plane protocols, essentially inherited from packet
Standard/Open T-APIsOne single API to develop and deploy, supporting all internal & external
customers

Conclusions
1310 October 2017 Colt Optical SDN Innovation
• Packet SDN is a reality – Colt’s Packet OD solutions live
• Next step is to expand OD to the optical domain
• Colt RFI on-going (Vendors/Analysts/SDOs)
• Optical SDN journey may take longer – higher proprietary environment
• Internal Operator use cases expected to bring quicker benefits
• Still, we observe some customer demand
• First Optical SDN tactical solutions planned for 2018
• Keep tuned… you will hear from us!
Thank you
