Does anyone know where I can locate a list of DWDM networks deployed for
Education, Science & Research, and Commercialization?
We need to determine the practicality of DWDM use...

you seem to have missed menog unfortunately. you may want to come to
the afren meeting in rabat coming up, where things such as this are
covered pretty deeply.

These are the major players in the Education RONS that are self owned and
managed. The nlr site will show the regional

The UK research and Education network is based on a DWDM backbone as far
as I know. Some of the regional networks on the Janet backbone also use
DWDM.

The current technologies for DWDM have really made it technology
that's reasonably straight forward to deploy. The last
generation was a nightmare!
Tuneable optics, dispersion compensation, and ROADM have made
a substantial difference to deploying and operating DWDM networks.
I had experience with the former generation system from Nortel
which although very reliable it was very resource intensive
to deploy new services, the latest CPL technology from Nortel
is a real breakthrough, for once a vendor has listened and understood
the challenges for operators and actively addressed our concerns.

Here's a map showing some of the regional optical networks
run by the R&E community. There's a lot more unrepresented
here, especially in metro environments.

Most of this stuff is then connected into NLR, Internet2.

Highly practical, and the latest network planning tools seem
to be halfway decent from the 2 vendors we use.

europe is similar. some of asia is similar.
scott might better have asked what r&e communities were not dwdm.
