Testing Challenges
for Next Generation Metro/Edge Routing Devices
The "if you build it - they will come"
philosophy, and the assumption that a high-capacity
network is all you need to attract business,
is proving to be incorrect for service providers.
The result is fierce competition, and significant
industry consolidation. This misassumption
has fueled the investment and development
of a new breed of metro/edge devices that
promise to reduce network operating expenses
and increase revenues for Service Providers.

O-UNI Interoperability Test Event: SUPERCOMM
2001
This was the first event of this type held
by the OIF. The event aimed to verify that
implementations of the O-UNI protocol developed
by independent vendors would interoperate.
The successful implementation of the OIF
UNI protocol is seen as a key step to bridging
the gap between the IP and Optical worlds.
