The optical-networking industry is experiencing a ROADM renaissance driven by new applications and greater operator demands at the optical layer. While first-generation ROADMs brought operators some operational benefits, they still lack a lot of the flexibility operators want and need. Despite all the hype around "point-and-click" provisioning, the reality is that provisioning optical-layer bandwidth remains time consuming and labor intensive. This session will detail the evolutionary path to next-generation ROADM-based networking, including directionless, colorless, contentionless and gridless ROADM architectures at 40G, 100G and beyond.
