Abstract
In this work, we consider access network design for the Optical Flow Switching (OFS) transport architecture [1]-[3]. Our work addresses the all-optical physical layer of the data plane in the context of tree-based networks. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of passive and active components - including optical amplifiers - and ultimately integrate these building blocks in the most economically attractive fashion for the required number of users.
