A Novel Node Architecture for Light-trail Provisioning in Mesh WDM Metro Networks

We propose an efficient node architecture to support light-trails (intelligent-shared-wavelength bus) in mesh WDM metro networks. Simulation results and performance benefits as compared to legacy technologies are shown.
