Abstract :
A WDM-based switched Ethernet network architecture to provide virtual private LAN services is supposed. It is shown that an effective VLAN separation method, based on the traffic matrix analysis, affects the working channel needs of the optical layer, and the application of the VLAN-sensitive (i.e. selective) and differentiated optical protection solution affects the protection channel needs of the optical layer, and so enables scalable SLA (service level agreement) definition and reduces the total network cost.
