Network-service Technology Enabled by the All-Photonics Network

摘要

To implement the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN), an advanced network that can efficiently process a large amount of data incomparable with the conventional Internet is required. To satisfy this requirement, NTT is researching and developing the epoch-making All-Photonics Network (APN), which will make maximum use of photonics-electronics convergence technology. This article describes activities related to function-dedicated network (FDN) architecture and the network-service technology that can be implemented on an FDN to provide various services via the APN.
