A Power-Consumption Analysis for Different IPoWDM Network Architectures with ZR/ZR+ and Long-Haul Muxponders (2407.00643v2)
Published 30 Jun 2024 in cs.NI and cs.PF
Abstract: We quantify and compare the power consumption of four IPoWDM transport network architectures employing ZR/ZR+ modules, considering different grooming, regeneration, and optical bypass capabilities. Results show that optical bypass is still the most power-efficient solution, reducing consumption by up to 30%.
