Abstract
Today´s telecommunications network is facing a continuing evolution, driven by the growing interest and demand for services requiring higher bandwidth and flexibility of transport. Replacing a narrowband switch fabric with a broadband switch fabric allows the operator to reuse existing narrowband hardware and software, while adding new capabilities such as SDH and ATM, making performance and capacity upgrades possible
