Abstract

We present for the first time the experimental demonstration of a Real-Time control-plane on the Multi-hEad sub-wavElength swiTching (MEET), Metro architecture. The key control assets are calculated and provided to the edge nodes in a form of grant files. These grant files eliminate the contention possibility at source nodes and destinations, thus they offer a lossless passive optical grooming and multiplexing/demultiplexing at the intermediate nodes. The experimental results validate the control plane structure designed based on a deterministic operating system well scalable for a regional metro network.
