Shahnaz Mohammad from Cisco Systems discusses the need for routed optical networking as the future of networks. Current networks are complex with layered architectures, but routed optical networking converges infrastructure into a single mass-scale architecture. This simplifies networks and makes them more resilient, sustainable, observable, programmable, automated and intelligent in handling different traffic classes. Routed optical networking uses high-speed 400G and beyond links with coherent optics and segment routing to simplify scaling while meeting demands like low latency, edge computing and 5G. It removes complexity compared to current multi-layer networks and optimizes costs. The potential benefits of routed optical networking include up to 56% lower operating expenses and 45% lower total cost of ownership
