Continued growth in demand and the need for rapid processing of bandwidth-intensive applications in data networks have had a tremendous impact on the Ethernet services in metro and regional networks. In today’s data-hungry technological environment, business applications require bigger Ethernet pipes to server farms and backup centers. This white paper explains the LAN and WAN variants of 10GigE interfaces and their importance for data networks. We then explore how WDM - Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology becomes the key solution to support 10 GigE transport applications across metro and regional networks.
