Analysis and experimentation of key technologies in service-oriented optical internet

To satisfy diverse bandwidth-intensive applications envisioned in the internet of the future, research on a distributed optical internet, enabling efficient utilization of geographically distributed resources, has become attractive. The deployment of such a network, however, has its own technical challenges, including network architecture, resource management, and high-speed transmission. To address these issues, a service-oriented-architecture-based distributed optical internet architecture is proposed. Thereafter, key technologies of an optical internet, such as optical multicasting, distributed resource control, and high-speed transmission, are analyzed and investigated. The proposed schemes are verified through experimentation and simulation.
