Abstract

This paper proposes an innovative metro mesh optical node and a two-fold control plane architectural solution composed of vertically interoperable sub-wavelength enabled GMPLS and TSON layers. Experimental results demonstrate very high throughput (8.68 Gbps) low latency (<;160 μs) and low (<;25 μs) jitter performance of the node. GMPLS protocol extensions are also provided to support such metro mesh network.
