Abstract

Optical fiber networks may one day offer potential capacities exceeding 10 terabits/sec. This paper describes present gigabit network techniques for distributed computing as illustrated by the CASA gigabit testbed, and then explores future all-optic network architectures that offers increased capacity, more optimized level of service for a given application, high fault tolerance, and dynamic reconfigurability.
