This paper describes an upcoming technology, currently under development, based on packet-optical transport. We present an enhanced packet optical transport system (ePOTS) to cope with the CAPEX/OPEX issues of current networks, and explain the system’s major features, its potential services, and network deployment scenarios. Our results show that ePOTS can provide multimedia services efficiently and reduce the network cost by around one-third that of a multiprotocol label switching network. |
