Basics of SWDM nodes

Which of these statements about the contentionless capability on a CDC-F node is TRUE?

  • A It represents the ability to support the Fixed Grid standard.
  • B It represents the ability to drop any lambda from any Add/Drop block port.
  • C It represents the ability to reroute lambdas to any direction.
  • D It represents the ability to drop the same wavelength from different degrees.
