Scalability of 10Gbit/s SCM optical label swapping networks featuring 2R multistage intra-node regeneration

摘要

The scalability of an all-optical packet-switched network based on subcarrier multiplexed optical label swapping routers with two wavelength conversion stages and 2R payload regeneration are experimentally demonstrated. Measurements up to 16 hops in the network with 10 Gbit/s payload show 1 dB penalty with 10~(-12) bit error rate.
