Abstract
The European Union ACTS project SONATA is going to demonstrate a ((switchless)) all-optical network to provide a hture single-layer, advanced transport architecture on a national scale [I]. The single-hop, shared-access network employs time and wavelength agility (a WDWDMA protocol), using fast tunable transmitters and receivers to route individual customer connections as well as bandwidth pipes through a single wavelength router (suitably replicated for resilience). No electronic switching nodes or cross-connects (telephony, IP. ATM, SDH) are required within the transport network, nor optical cross-connects (save the wavelength routing node), thus providing major transport architecture simplifications and hardware reductions. The network is scalable to 200 Tbit/s throughput over 1.000 km, connecting 20 million terminals operating at 622 Mbit/s over 50,000-way split hyperPONs, by means of 800 WDM channels with 0.05 nm channel spacing (6.25 GHz). This paper reports details on the network dimensioning, and network control issues.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
