Optical mesh network Transparency

July 19, 2011

Traditional transport networks are made of optical fiber-based links between telecommunications offices, where multiple wavelengths are multiplexed to increase the capacity of the fiber.

Routing in optical mesh networks

July 19, 2011

Routing is a key control and operational aspect of optical mesh networks.

Optical mesh network Applications

July 19, 2011

The deployment of optical mesh networks is enabling new services and applications for service providers to offer their customers, such asDynamic services such as Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD), Just-In-Time (JIT) bandwidth, bandwidth scheduling, and bandwidth brokering Optical virtual private networks.

Optical burst switching

July 19, 2011

Optical burst switching (OBS) is an optical networking technique that allows dynamic sub-wavelength switching of data.

Optical burst switching Purpose

July 19, 2011

The purpose of optical burst switching (OBS) is to dynamically provision sub-wavelength granularity by optimally combining electronics and optics. OBS considers sets of packets with similar properties called bursts.

Small form-factor pluggable transceiver Standardization

July 18, 2011

The SFP transceiver is specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA) between competing manufacturers. The SFP was designed after the GBIC interface, and allows greater port density (number of transceivers per cm along the edge of a mother board) than the GBIC, which is why SFP is also known as mini-GBIC. The related Small Form Factor transceiver is similar in size to the SFP, but is soldered to the host board as a pin through-hole device, rather than plugged into an edge-card socket.
