Abstract
Explosive growth in the demand for bandwidth continues and there are no signs of slowing down. Along with higher capacity, there is a demand for better bandwidth utilization and management, faster provisioning and new value added services. These demands could be met by taking the best of Layer3/2 recent advancements and combining them with the strenghts of Layer 1 technologies. This talk evaluates the next generation architecture that will efficiently support data intensive network demands of the future.
