Subcarrier multiplexed optical label swapping based on subcarrier multiplexing: a network paradigm for the implementation of optical Internet

We introduce and review the main features of subcarrier multiplexed label swapping techniques as a supporting technology for the implementation of the optical Internet. The efforts that are currently being made under the framework of the EU funded IST-LABELS project are also described.
