Abstract

The explosive growth in Internet traffic has created the need to transport packets such as IP paradigm over high-speed links. Packets over SONET or directly over optical fiber technology is, therefore, being deployed today in backbone networks to provide efficient, cost-effective, high-speed transport between fast routers. In this paper, a flexible design and implementation of this technology has been proposed. Our design can support up to OC-48 (2.4 Gb/s) data rate with negligible system latency, which is very suitable for real-time multimedia applications
