Abstract :
We have shown that Reed-Solomon forward error correcting codes are best suited for optical packet as they are for optical circuit. However, due to their small size, a careful choice of the RS parameters has to be made. For instance, with our assumptions, standard RS(255, 239) code is not compliant with packets as short as 12,000 bits at 10 Gbit/s. RS(127,111) should be preferred.
