随着超高速光传输技术的发展,支撑100Gbit/s以及更高速率的组网应用成为全光网研究的关键。文章提出支持灵活谱利用的超大容量全光网体系结构。该结构根据端口实际需要编程配置光通道带宽并实现全光交换,突破波分复用(WDM)对通道带宽的限制,解决超高速率光信号的传送问题。同时,支持面向精细颗粒带宽的全光谱域分割和疏导控制与管理,实现光层资源虚拟化与按需配置,提高光纤带宽利用率。
With the development of high-speed optical transmission technology,100 Gbit/s or higher all-optical networks have become crucial.This paper proposes ultrahigh-capacity all-optical network architecture based on flexible spectrum use.In this architecture,the bandwidth of optical channels can be set up according to the actual port rate,and all-optical switching can be implemented.This new architecture can overcome problems of limited fixed-channel bandwidth in wavelength division multiplexing(WDM)networks and in the ultra high-speed optical transport.The new architecture supports fine-granularity control and management technologies used for segmenting and grooming in all-optical frequency domains.It also implements virtualization and on-demand allocation for optical-layer resources so that bandwidth use is optimized.
