Release Notes for Cisco Routed Optical Networking Release 4.0

Routed Optical Networking

Routed Optical Networking simplifies complex multilayer networks by collapsing network layers and minimizing functional overlap. It enhances overall network efficiency by optimizing each layer. The architecture integrates open data models and standard APIs, promoting automation and making Routed Optical Networking easier to operate than legacy networks.

Routed Optical Networking offers improvements and simplification through:

Routed Optical Networking utilizes high-density routers, high-capacity ZR or ZR+ pluggable digital coherent optics, simplified DWDM line systems, and end-to-end multi-layer automation to create next-generation networks.
