Multi-Service Photonic Network

The paper presents the Multi-Service Photonic Network (MSPN) architecture, implementing the idea of optical circuit, burst and packet switching coexistence. We focus on the architecture using a layered perspective, and describe each layer functionality and technical implementation. Generic node structure gives a systematic description of MSPN functionalities through switching elements and transport interfaces. The implmentation of new switching paradigms is particularly addressed by the discussion of the ways of transporting possibilities of optical packet/burst switching services over optical circuit switching services. The MSPN support of different topological paradigms is of essential importance for the next generation optical transmission network deployment.
