Digital Protection for Ethernet and Video Transport Oriented Metro Optical Networks

We describe a digital protection scheme based on integrated sub-wavelength switching that is optimized for Ethernet and video-transport oriented metro optical networks. Results from a quantitative analysis illustrate the significant benefits over traditional protection methods.
