So, low speed devices cannot fill the wavelength bandwidth.  When detecting of failure, different layers compete for protection  Optical layer detects failure almost immediately, restores error in 2us to 60ms  SONET layer detects failure in 2.3–100 us, restores error in 60 ms Disadvantage of Current Multi- layer Protocol Stack (Cont)  Functional overlap: So many layers are doing the same thing  Routing  Protections  Slow speed  Electronic devices can not catch the transmission speed available at optical layer  Latencies of connection Historical Reason for Multi-layer  SONET over WDM  Conventional WDM deployment is using SONET as standard interface to higher layers  IP over ATM  IP packets need to be mapped into ATM cells before transporting over WDM using SONET frame  OEO conversions at every node is easier to build than all optical switch Electronic Network Electronic Network Electronic Network Electronic Network O/E/O O/E/O O/E/O O/E/O O/E/O O/E/O Optical Core E/O E/O E/O E/O Simplified Protocol Stacks?
