Abstract

We propose an effective wavelength converter method using frequency shifter for photonic node, and examine the scalability of Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. The ana1ysis is examined based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) for present 2.4 and 10 Gbit/s Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) networks, and next generation 2.7 and 10.8 Gbit/s Optical Transport Networks (OTN) format The proposed 100 channels GMPLS networks using optical frequency shifters are shown to be applicable to transmission network spanning over 1206 km(24 nodes) in 2.7 Gbit/s trunk networks. Transmission over more than 310 km (6 nodes) is also possible in 2.7 Gbit/s Metroporitan Area Networks(MAN).
