Description
400G ZR+ offers the opportunity to move towards IPoWDM and numerous field trials and deployments have already been announced. This talk will focus on our own experience of deploying coherent pluggables, the motivation behind and the challenges we faced along the way. While some of the benefits are quite straightforward, like cost savings and some of the challenges are more than obvious, like the siloed approach to IP and WDM in most of today's network operators, what else did we realize while doing this?
