Abstract
Flexible networks are critical when it comes to maximizing utilization of high capacity wavelengths. OTN switching either separate from or integrated with DWDM provides the flexibility for increasing utilization. Further, OTN switches enable traffic re-grooming as the network grows and evolves to maintain high levels of utilization.
