Abstract:
A cross-layer based, quality-of-service aware packet protection mechanism is experimentally demonstrated on an optical switching test-bed with 8×10-Gb/s wavelength-striped payloads. The scheme leverages optical performance monitoring to reroute degraded data streams before packets are lost.
