Abstract
This paper presents a workable solution for transport of IP packets over optical networks. The protocol heavily relies on the data link and physical layer of the proposed standard 10 Gbit/s Ethernet. The architecture is able to optically multiplex and forward asynchronous packets like those generated by classical Ethernet devices.
