Enabling dynamic all optical IP off-loading at Tb/s rates in large Metro Networks

Simulation experiments prove the suitability of VCSEL-based S-BVTs to enable IP off-loading in large MAN topologies. Multi-Tb/s capacity is demonstrated in a real MAN for all primary and secondary multi-level direct paths.
