Routed optical networks

[Etienne-Victor Depasquale via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Hello folks,

Simple question: does "routed optical networks" have a clear meaning in the
metro area context, or not?

Put differently: does it call to mind a well-defined stack of technologies
in the control and data planes of metro-area networks?

I'm asking because I'm having some thoughts about the clarity of this term,
in the process of carrying out a qualitative survey of the results of the
metro-area networks survey.

Cheers,

Etienne
