 In a QKD relay node, the key stream never leaves the security envelope. The management and information reconciliation
 links can be combined into a single, classical network link, requiring a single fiber when using a standard wavelength
 division multiplexing transceiver. The QKD link's clock channel and the quantum channel require a dedicated fiber each,

 Concluding the above paragraphs, a QKD node is not a particularly challenging payload for an IHSM. The most problematic
 requirement is feeding through a number of fibers for its various input and output signals, but fundamentally it is no
