Abstract
In this paper an OFS architecture that exploits the strength of optics to serve large transactions is described. The shift towards OFS requires some architectural elements of the network- from the physical layer to the higher network layers, as well as network management and control, be substantially redesigned at the fundamental level for the network architecture to be scalable and implementable.
