5 PB per Month Metro traffic to grow 3x over next 5 years Traffic % CAGR Source: Cisco VNI, 2013 Metro-only traffic will surpass long-haul traffic this year. Metro-only traffic will grow nearly twice as fast as long-haul traffic from 2012 to If you have a 40-channel 10G DWDM system filled at 50% capacity (= 200 Gbps) today, you will need to upgrade that system in the next two years What are the options?

6 Options for n*100g transport in metropolitan networks Add parallel dark fibers and replicate n*10g passive DWDM systems Expensive opex (fiber RTUs, maintenance, supervision) Add channels to existing n*10g passive DWDM systems Expensive capex (passive mux replacement, new 10G optics) Add active 100G transmission systems Very expensive capex and opex Passive 100G architectures are becoming the most cost-effective option

16 Conclusion 100G is still not making sense for all metro connections, but has become a valid solution for fiber-constrained areas and native 100G port transport. 100G Passive Transport has already become a powerful, simpler, and lower-cost alternative to traditional active transmission solutions.
