Alien Wavelengths in National Research and Education Network Infrastructures Based on Open Line Systems: Challenges and Opportunities

The European National Research and Education Networks have a long tradition of shared use of resources, in particular, by deploying alien wavelengths (AWs) that disaggregate the transponders from the optical transport network. This network evolution is being extended by making use of White Boxes ...
