Abstract
The combination of digital media, personal computing, and global networking is creating a radical shift in the telecom industry. However, the transport backbone, which was built on 10G wavelengths, is nearing capacity and is driving the need for upgrades to 40G and 100G. 100G Ethernet and OTU4 bring new fundamental concepts, which require new training and new testing. 100G Ethernet and OTU4 equipment is currently in development or in trial, and the next phase is to deploy this equipment in the field. This article is mostly based on the work done by IEEE P802.3ba and ITU-T Study Group 15 to provide an overview of how 100G Ethernet and OTU4 are different from previous technologies, and includes guidance on which tests need to be performed with these emerging technologies. 112G line side testing is also briefly discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
