In this chapter we focus on the individual heuristics of a node or NE. A WDM node has features of adding, dropping, or passing through lightpaths. This kind of lightpath communication is facilitated by O-E-O (opto-electro-opto) or O-O-O (optical to optical) switch fabrics. At the ingress of each node, the composite WDM signal is preamplified ...
