Abstract

An experimental all-optical, wavelength-routed network testbed has been constructed in the Boston metropolitan area. The network has 20 optical channels, space by 50 GHz and provides dedicated circuit-switched wide-band service at user defined modulation formats and rates up to 10 Gbps, and time-slotted WDM services for medium and low-rate users. We are now characterizing the deployed network which spans over 87 km interconnecting four all-optical local-area networks in Littleton, Lexington, and Cambridge Massachusetts. We discuss wavelength sharing and reuse, local broadcast, routing, multi-cast and multi-hop connections at 1.244, 2.488, and 10 Gbps. We present the system design and the performance (e.g. BER and cross-talk) of local-broadcast, metropolitan-area-routed and broadcast transmission modes.
