On the DWDM side, expect to add between 0.3W of energy @ 100G, and 0.6W
@ 400G, when encryption is enabled.

Something to keep in mind if power and/or thermal management are crucial
for you.


Are you talking about L1OE here, not MACSEC?

Quite a bit I’d say, particularly in WAN. It’s an easy and excellent

rolling keys and so forth to ensure your expectations are met.
