Metro traffic to grow 3x over next 5 years…
Metro-only traffic will surpass long-haul traffic this year.
Metro-only traffic will grow nearly twice as fast as long-haul traffic from 2012 to 2017.
If you have a 40-channel 10G DWDM system filled at 50% capacity (= 200 Gbps) today, you will need to upgrade that system in the next two years

100G is still not making sense for all metro connections, but has become a
valid solution for fiber-constrained areas and native 100G port transport.
100G Passive Transport has already become a powerful,
simpler, and lower-cost alternative to
traditional active transmission solutions.
