Wavelengths
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
Impact
POW substantially increases the
performance of IP-based optical
networks
Integrates with existing Internet
technology
Cost-effectively leverages emerging
optical technology
POW enhances the robustness and
survivability of the Next Generation
