25、 in limited cases iswelcome in network design,provided the cost of extralambdas and resiliency has been properly accounted for.Beware of network planning models,where the cost ofbandwidth and effects of statistical multiplexing are ignored.The poor economy of“optical bypass”is recognized by mostof OB vendors,which silently“complement”OXC withelectrical-domain switching(OTN).,
