Point to point label switching protocol for optical access networks

摘要

This paper concentrates on the provisioning of services using point-to-point protocol (PPP) and label switching scheme in IP over DWDM access networks. For the reason of usefulness of PPP and the efficiency of label switching technique in access networks, I propose three solutions for end-to-end or end-to-provider communication on the optical access networks. Three solution candidates for access networks are 10 Gigabit Ethernet network, Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) network, and Passive optical network (PON). These Topologies have their own advantages. So this article presents how we can use these architectures properly in the access networks with the PPP and label switching techniques over a DWDM layer.
