Advanced Optical Networking- Lucent's MONET Network Elements

摘要

The Multiwavelength Optical ENTworking (MONET) consortium is a five-year pro- gram that has been under way since December 1994. Its Overall goal has been to research and prototype wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networking technologies, network elements (Nes), and a network control and management system to support an advanced WDM optical networking testbed linking federal government agencies in the Washington, DC, area, including the National Security Agency (NSA), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and the National Aeronautics And space administration (NASA).
