Recommendation ITU-T G.672 provides a description of the relevant characteristics of multi-degree reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (MD-ROADM) network elements. The MD-ROADM is intended to be used in optical networks based on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), to enhance network scalability and to support enhanced service provisioning and resilience features. Recommendation ITU-T G.672 also provides classification criteria and a list of optical transfer parameters for MD-ROADMs appropriate for both fixed and flexible DWDM grid applications. In this edition of Recommendation ITU-T G.672, classification examples and configuration examples of MD-ROADM are added.
