The gool of this paper is the traffic management in the multi-service optical network context (ROM). We suggest centralising the traffic management policies at the interface between the client layers and the ROM network. The key idea is then to exploit, in an optimal way, the electronic memories in the electronic interfaces at the edge nodes of the optical network to control the incoming traffic. We particularly study the impact of traffic shaping at the ROM periphery on the end-to-end performance in terms of loss and delay.
