  • Abstract
    This paper presents the architecture of a WDM optical packet network, called WONDER, that was designed and prototyped in the PhotonLab at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. The design and implementation of the WONDER network aim to assess the effectiveness of optical with respect to electronic devices, trying to identify an optimal mix of the two technologies. We present physical topology and node structure of the prototype.
