This document provides a comprehensive framework for the classification, characteristics, and operational parameters of Multi-Degree Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (MD-ROADMs), including two-degree ROADMs. MD-ROADMs are optical network elements capable of dynamically managing. In the ALLEGRO project, we're pushing the boundaries of dynamic optical networking by advancing the modeling and understanding of disaggregated ROADMs —the core enablers of flexible, scalable, all-optical routing. This is achieved through the use of a wavelength.
