Abstract

Most existing optical local area network proposals based on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) require sophisticated and specialized optical components, with problems of cost and complexity, and also the limited number of available wavelengths. The key issue to design optical MAC is not bandwidth, but complexity. An efficient and low-cost solution is needed to facilitate optical local area networking using the existing optical components that will be available in the short term. This paper is regarding to the work of a collaborative EPSRC and DTI funded project SOAPS (Smoothed Optical ATD Packet Switching).
