Highlights & Contributions:
- Focuses on router consolidation strategies using light-tree based P2MP transceiver architectures, significantly reducing the number of routers needed.
- Demonstrates cost and energy savings by shifting routing functions deeper into the metro core while maintaining performance.
- Provides design guidelines and trade-off evaluations for future optical metro-core deployments leveraging P2MP coherence.
