Abstract:

The introduction of intelligence for management and control of optical networks based on internet protocol and the quality of service (QoS) are key issues for the evolution of the next generation network. In this paper the authors report experimental results on QoS measurements related to different real time multimedia services in an optical network based on a ring configuration obtained by means of the fibers contained in an installed cable between Rome and Pomezia, core routers with optical Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and configured with differentiated service over multi-protocol label switching architecture.
