Design, implementation, and application of a flexible multifunctional optical switching testbed (MOST)

To solve the scalability and flexibility issue in current optical network testbeds, a Multi-functional Optical Switching Testbed (MOST) has been built. Benefiting from design of modular hardware and layered software, network experiments of scalability and complicated node architecture can be made based on it. The hardware and software structure of the MOST system is explicitly analyzed in the article and demonstrations of a 12-node ASON and shared wavelength conversion ASON on MOST are also reported.
