Abstract :
This paper proposes an evolution of the STARGATE long-reach PON architecture to allow the optical interconnection of multiple STARGATEs by means of a GMPLS-based backbone network. The architecture of the optical bypass gateway is proposed and the distributed signalling for establishing inter-STARGATE connection requests is detailed. The optical bypassing capacity of the proposed architecture is evaluated through simulations.
