The deployment of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) provide more flexibility [5,6] to optical connections and to adapt optical networks to bursty data traffic.In this paper we describe a solution that offers packet granularity in the optical domain at the convergence of ROADM and Ethernet technologies. While the approach is driven by new optical technology, the design must consider the performance of the entire network. We begin the paper with a description of the network specifications, and after a description of the network elements we address the optical technologies that are required. We then describe key results that demonstrate the feasibility of such a network and discuss the actions required to introduce this technology to the marketplace. Finally, we describe the control plane with some performance metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
