IP over D-WDM
Dense Wave Division Multiplexing
Ebone
a subsidiary of GTS Carrier Services
GTS Carrier Services GTS ConfidentialPage 2 - November, 1999
The companies

tier Internet connectivity since 1991.
• GTS pioneering European Carriers Carrier operating their own
pan-European fiber network.
• Ebone is now a 100 % owned subsidiary of GTS Carrier
Services allowing the companies to combine the best from the
two companies.
• Ebone continues as a brand name for the IP products.

IP over D-WDM
• IP over D-WDM connects 2.5 Gbps directly as optical interfaces
into the IP routers (Cisco 12000) thus eliminating the need for
SDH equipment.
• By going to D-WDM the GTS IP backbone is moving from the
Mbps environment of SDH (2, 34, 45 and 155 Mbps) and directly
into the Gbps environment, this combined with the non
overbooking policy of GTS allows very fast upgrades of customer
connections.

Equipment Suppliers
• Cienna
– D-WDM equipment
• Cisco
– POS (packet over Sonet) cards
– CISCO 12000 & 7200 Routers
• Alcatel
– Only for SDH - not used for IP over D-WDM

WDM pass-thru
• A router at every WDM terminal site is expensive
• Connect wavelengths on different spans to create WDM circuit
between two routers.

GTS network strategy: IP
• Use IP/WDM for maximum capacity & flexibility
• Reduce network complexity by reducing equipment
• Use IP/WDM overlay for traffic engineering
• Use IPsec for IP VPNs
• Provide QoS by capacity management
– 0% packet-loss
– lowest possible latency

Throttling customer connections
Goal: allow flexible capacity upgrades
• Over-dimension access circuit, implement upgrades when required.
• Supported at E3/T3 speeds with Cisco equipment. Also required for STM-1 and
STM-4

Benefits of D-WDM
• D-WDM offers GTS the ability to provide high bandwidth for IP as
well as other services utilizing existing fiber and by adding a limited
number of new fiber paths expanding the network.
• IP over DWDM saves the use of SDH equipment and multiplexing
• D-WDM allows GTS to remain on the forefront as the Carriers
Carrier
• D-WDM allows GTS to do fast high bandwidth reengineering if the
need for high bandwidth increases in a location.
