“Optimization of Router Cost and Consumption in a Point-to-Multipoint Metro-Core Architecture,” OFC 2025 (Paper W2A.45)
🔗 Access the paper: https://doi.org/10.1364/OFC.2025.W2A.45
Key Highlights:
- Introduces a cost- and energy-aware design for metro-core networks deploying P2MP transceivers instead of traditional point-to-point devices.
- Demonstrates that router consolidation and architecture redesign can yield substantial savings in both capital cost and power consumption while maintaining performance.
- Offers practical insights for future metro-core planning using P2MP coherent optical technologies.
