Abstract :
An inversely aggregated networking with programmable protection (i-ANP2) architecture is proposed to provide a cost-effective and robust optical network. It is shown to reduce more than 50% of capital expenditure (CAPEX) for protected services and the operational cost by several orders of magnitude.
