I've made the point that there are advantages to using serial forms of comms, as opposed to parallel, in previous posts here. A T1 rather than 24 individual copper voice channels; a T3 rather than 28 T1s; an OC-48 rather than 48 individual T3s, etc.

In the case of optical networking the issue can be similar, in terms of a single flow as opposed to many different flows using WDM.

Perhaps the article below makes a better case of this than I did, and it derives from telegraph practices that were in use over a hundred years ago.

Enjoy.
