Optical Substrate


Optical switching used to improve the
throughput and latency of Internet Protocol (IP)
Dynamic, adaptive assignment of IP flows to
optical wavelengths enhances IP’s robustness
Intelligent, learning-based identification of IP
switchable flows enables effective control of
Internet traffic
