Abstract
The optical path concept was proposed to resolve problems in transport node technologies such as ATM switching. It offers quantum leaps in both transmission capacity and cross-connect throughput simultaneously by exploiting WDM transmission and the wavelength routing capabilities of paths. The transmission capacity expansion due to WDM and the commensurate increase in cross-connect throughput possible with wavelength routing enable flexible and cost-effective broadband networking.
