NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Tutorial: Optical Networking 101
Meeting:	NANOG57
Date / Time:	2013-02-04 11:00am - 12:30pm
Room:	Atlantis A&B
Presenters:	Speakers: Richard Steenbergen, GTT Richard Steenbergen currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer of GTT, a global IP/MPLS backbone in over 80 countries. Prior to GTT, Richard was the founder and CTO of nLayer Communications, a Senior Network Engineer for other very large NSPs, and a Senior Software Engineer developing advanced optimized routing technologies. Richard has many years of practical experience operating and managing large networks, and is a frequent contributor in many popular networking community forums. He is also an active developer for several tools and software packages used by the network operator community. Some notable projects include PeeringDB, a portal used by many networks to help coordinate their peering activities, and IRR PowerTools, a software package used by many ISPs to maintain their IRR-based BGP prefix lists.
Abstract:	Everything you ever wanted to know about optical networking but were afraid to ask. Example topics include: * How fiber works (the basics, fiber types and limitations, etc) * Working with optics (choosing the right type, designing optical networks, etc) * Optical power (understanding dBm, loss, using light meters, etc) * DWDM (how it works, muxes, oadms, amps, etc) * Dispersion (what is it, why do we care, how do we fix it) * Optical Myths (can I hurt myself looking into fiber, can I overload my optic)
