Broadcast-and-Select node architectures based on WSS are a cost-effective solution for transparent switching in optical networks, but have limited flexibility for routing tributary traffic due to directionality. We assess the impact of directionality on restoration in transparent networks.Broadcast-and-Select node architectures based on WSS are a cost-effective solution for transparent switching in optical networks, but have limited flexibility for routing tributary traffic due to directionality.
