From MRV press release ... Current generation DWDM solutions offer only multiple fixed point-to-point connections on a fiber loop. However, data networks require rapid simultaneous and addressable connections to many sites to maintain efficient operations. Reconfiguration of current networks require either expensive digital cross-connects or physical rearrangement of components on the loop. In contrast to current generation DWDM solutions, MRV's Dynamic DWDM will create an optical layer for the access network. This optical layer will perform routing, switching and optical cross connect functions completely in the optical domain. ****************** What this says to me is that the routing of DWDM optical links are done by optics and not electronically as is currently the case of all switches or routers. This eliminates the need to convert from optic to electronic - perform routing/switching - convert back from electronics to optics. Anyone else care to describe in more detail. I am interested.
