Parameters affecting to the tolerance - Signal bit rate - Channel counts and spacing - Distance or number of spans - Fibre type - Fibre input power - Pre-chirping of transmitter - Modulation scheme of transmitter - DC allocation / value

Need to consider the variation of tolerance due to characteristics of transmitter, fibre non-linear effects and dispersion map. Even if residual dispersion values are same, the received waveforms are different, affected by these parameters.

Conclusions
In fibre optical high bit rate (such as 10G or 40G bit/s) long-haul transmission systems, dispersion compensation is one of the most important items to be considered for design. Management or optimization of residual dispersion are required for photonic networks, i.e., for fibres, repeaters and optical interfaces. PMD compensation is also required especially for 40Gbit/s or higher bit rate long-haul systems.
