This chapter describes the Routed Optical Networking solution components. The hardware components that enable Routed Optical Networking are: The Cisco 8000 series routers utilize Cisco's Silicon One ASIC to deliver full routing functionality at higher capacities and a lower environmental footprint. Find out how Cisco Routed Optical Networking can reduce your network CapEx, energy consumption, footprint, and labor costs. Discover the economic benefits of routed optical networks for DCI, metro, and long-haul applications. Reduce your CapEx up to 60% by simplifying your network transport with. This article will cover how this wholistic approach to end-to-end IP-optical integration and optimization, also called "coherent routing," will unlock the resulting benefits for network operators. Ethernet layer: business as usual. 400GE or 4x100GE breakout Optical channel: Look-and-feel of a transponder, but sitting in the router. The DP01QS28-E20 and DP01QS28-E25 transceivers enhances the Routed Optical Networking solution by adding a 100G-only tuneable optic which be used across both.
