Abstract

The multiwavelength optical networking (MONET) consortium has demonstrated national-scale optical networking in a multilocation testbed in New Jersey. The demonstration involves transparent optical connections over path lengths as long as 2290 km, through several network elements (NEs) controlled by two interoperating network control and management (NC&M) systems. This paper describes in detail the three constituent testbeds and the experiments
