Using Dynamic Optical Networking for High-Speed Access
Overview While LAN and wide-area network link capacities keep increasing, access links from enterprises are still bottlenecks. This paper proposes a networking solution to improve the access link rate seen by an enterprise user. The solution is developed in the context of existing constraints, such as the presence of ring based metropolitan area access and core networks, and Ethernet cards in end hosts. This proposal enables the use of hybrid Ethernet-optical access circuits set up and released on demand. Through the use of switched optical circuits the number of hosts that can be supported on a metropolitan area core ring network can be increased significantly at an acceptable grade of service.
