Abstract :
A high-density burst switched passive access network implementing a highly-optimized WDM/TDM geographic bandwidth allocation protocol is presented. Network simulations have validated the protocol and 2.5 Gb/s multi-wavelength optical transmission tests have demonstrated practical feasibility.
