Exploding bandwith requirements for data, voice and video applications together with new technologies for all optical networks will dramatically change the conventional networks in the near future. Direct connections of IP routers via Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Optical Switches are now possible. We will present the different technologies which have led to Optical Networking and its possible applications at Cern.
