Abstract :
We investigate the optimal level of IP integration for the deployment of an automatically switched optical network (ASON). We design and analyze a national network delivering a high bandwidth access to every user, and investigate the capital cost of ASONs with IP routers. Based on this analysis, we show that an ASON with IP routers at the edge is more cost-effective than other alternatives.
