High performance and flexible FPGA-based time shared optical network (TSON) metro node

The paper presents the architecture, implementation and evaluation of the flexible and finely granular Time Shared Optical Network metro node (TSON). The results show exceptional performance, throughput 95.38% of theoretical maximum, latency less than 160μsec and jitter less than 25μsec.
