Abstract :
In summary, we have demonstrated uniform performance of the all optical network (AON) A-Service under Level-O broadcast and Level-1 routed, multicast and broadcast operation. We have demonstrated multihop operation with conventional wavelength changing. Finally, we presented measurements on the potential impairments of optical beat noise cross talk in transparent optical networks and showed how the AON manages such potential effects.
