The momentum for converged multi-layer operations has begun, and industry innovators are discovering the benefits. There is change, cost and risk associated with the evolution, but the rewards can no longer be ignored. Evolving to coordinated IP/Optical network control is essential to achieving the key IP/Optical convergence business goal of operating and scaling the network most cost-efficiently and sustainably.
