OIF Overview

• Launched in April of 1998 with an objective to
  foster development of low-cost and scaleable
  internet using optical technologies
• The only industry group bringing together
  professionals from the data and optical worlds
• Open forum 170 member companies
• International
• Carriers
• Component and systems vendors
• Testing and software companies
• Our MissionTo foster the development and
  deployment of interoperable products and services
  for data switching and routing using optical
  networking technologies

OIF Focus

• Low-cost Scaleable Optical Internetworking
• IP-Over-Switched Optical Network Architecture
• Physical layer
• Low-cost optical interfaces between networking
  elements
• Standard device level electrical interfaces for
  low-cost systems
• Control layer interoperability between data and
  optical layers
• Dynamic configuration using IP signaling and
  control mechanisms
• Accommodate legacy network under the new physical
  and control layer mechanisms

Output from OIF

• Develop implementation agreements using
• Carrier groups requirements as input
• Existing standards and specifications when
  available
• Developing new when necessary
• Develop interoperability testing procedure to
  ensure compliance and ultimately interoperable
  products and networks
• Provide input into other standards bodies
