Abstract :
The trend toward higher bandwidth networks includes rapid growth of bursty datagram and other dynamic virtual-circuit services. Optical time-division multi-access (OTDM) networks can provide low-access-delay bandwidth on demand to support these services. Using optical techniques, future networks could operate at burst rates of 100 Gbit/s because OTDM techniques allow very high-speed optical logic and buffering that are capable of operating at these high data rates. Aspects of OTDM technology requirements are examined including HLAN architecture implementation
