Next Generation Network

• Create network integration architecture with a
  long-term perspective into future (2015)
• Respond to rapid increases in traffic
• Allow autonomous connection
• Optimum network resource allocation
• Independent of the current Internet architecture
  (post-IP)
• Research on going for 100Tbps optical routers,
  new address space, routing and signalling
  technologies, enhanced functionalities and
  survivability through all-optic network

• Enhanced functionalties in Addressing, routing
  and ignalling
• High reliability survivability
• Autonomous/distributed operation and control for
  support of systems such as RFID various sensors
  for Ubiquitous network environments
• Flexible management/Control
• Peta bit level TX processing/capacity
• Interserver TX at Tera bit level, U.H.S storage
  access and distribution
• Advanced photonic node technology
• Integrated router supporting all-optical packet
  processing,
• Near Shannon limit optical communications
