What technology determines how cable bandwidth is segmented to different tenants on fiber optic trunk connections? In theory 10 Tbps would divide out to something like 1,000 dedicated 10Gbps L2 connections but I'm guessing there's a lot more to it than that.
Either way it's pretty cool to see the increases in trunk capacity. This is enabling for a huge range of applications.
(Edit: Bad math on bandwidth, must.have.coffee!)
- amazon_not 10y agoBandwidth can be segmented off using multiple technologies. Basically you can either dedicate wavelengths per tenant (typically 96 wavelengths on a DWDM system) or dedicate lower bitrates per customer (for example 1 Gbps) and mux them together with other traffic until you fill up a 10G or 100G wavelength.
