Integrated photonic line card (IPLC)

Junos OS can provide a fully integrated photonic line system for converged core and metro core packet optical networks running point-to-point and ring topologies. The following optical components are available:

• Integrated photonic line card (IPLC) base module-Provides the combined functionality of a 32-port reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM), optical amplifier, optical equalizer, and optical channel monitor on a single card.
• IPLC expansion module-Increases the channel capacity of the IPLC node to 64 channels. The standalone optical inline amplifier (ILA) provides periodic amplification of the optical line signal to enable long-distance transmission. To complete the optical solution, you can use Juniper Networks 100G Coherent transponders, along with the IPLC, optical ILA, and Connectivity Services Director (CSD), which runs on the Junos Space Network Management platform to provide an end-to-end, fully managed packet optical solution.
  
  You can configure, manage, and monitor the IPLC through Junos Space Connectivity Services Director 2.0, the Junos CLI, or your SNMP management system.
