Objective In recent years, there has been an explosive growth in data communication traffic. To address the demands for high-speed, high-capacity data transmission and the diversification of network application scenarios, 100 Gbit/s and Beyond (B100 Gbit/s) Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) hybrid networking has gradually gained attention as an efficient solution. This paper conducts an analysis of the requirements, key technologies, and practical case studies of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networking to provide technical support and guidance for constructing high-capacity and efficient communication networks. Methods This paper first elucidates the requirements for the development of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networks, including the need for network capacity expansion and support for complex network architectures. Next, it focuses on introducing the key technologies of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networking, including constellation shaping, spectrum shaping, and flexible grid techniques. To support bitrate design in hybrid networking, a method for Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) calculation in cascaded Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) communication systems is presented, utilizing parameters such as channel configuration information, signal optical power after transmitter, gain and noise parameters of EDFAs, to progressively calculate the output OSNR for each wavelength along the entire link. Finally, in conjunction with a foreign network case study and based on actual OSNR evaluation findings, a rational hybrid rate network design is performed, demonstrating the practical application of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networking in engineering projects. Results By employing B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid network, after flexibly configuring transmission rates and bandwidths according to OSNR evaluations, the deployment of hybrid rate networks at 200, 600 and 800 Gbit/s is achieved. This approach fulfills the high-capacity requirements of core sites while accommodating the long-distance, extensive span requirements of edge sites. Furthermore, network upgrades and expansion were smoothly accomplished within a three-year period. Conclusion Empirical evidence demonstrates that B100 Gbit/s DWDM networking effectively enhances network capacity, flexibility, and spectrum resource utilization. Moreover, it provides room for the continuous evolution of the networks, serving as a vital methods to advance the development of high-capacity optical transmission networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
