Abstract :
The paper presents the architecture, implementation and evaluation of the flexible and finely granular Time Shared Optical Network metro node (TSON). The results show exceptional performance, throughput 95.38% of theoretical maximum, latency less than 160μsec and jitter less than 25μsec.
