Abstract | Summary form only given. Wide area networks of the past involved both protocol and topological hierarchies. In particular, protocol hierarchy involved IP over ATM over SDH, ATM over SDH, and wideband private lines over SDH. Topological hierarchy in wide area networks (as well as in access and metro networks) involved edge (region) and core (inter-region) for IP, ATM, and SDH. Sometimes an extra layer of hierarchy (super core) was added. This topological hierarchy provided traffic aggregation and statistical multiplexing. It also allowed the advantage of economy of size of particular switches and of the transport bandwidth. Finally, this hierarchy also allowed easier operations. A confluence of factors is causing changes in the above architecture and even more fundamental changes will be required in the future. In particular, the explosive growth in traffic volume and emergence of true multi-wavelength, multi-service, optical networks will make flatter service networks supported by an optical core network more economical in the future. While the optical core can have ring, mesh, or hybrid topology, mesh architecture with flexible restoration capability (selectable per wavelength) will become increasingly more desirable for long haul transport. In this talk, we discuss the factors driving this shift in network architecture, and provide quantification of the cost advantage of the new architecture for realistic, national scale networks. We also discuss the impact of the new architecture on the requirements for network elements providing the optical transport network (OTN) as well as those (IP/ATM switches, SDH cross connects, etc.) in the service networks. Finally, we also discuss the new management and control paradigms as well as the opportunities for new revenue generating services resulting from this new architecture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
