Abstract :
A unidirectional WDM ring, installed in the optical network of Rome, with ultra fast self healing mechanism, is presented. The network connects three optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) nodes with two different add-drop multiplexing architectures. Transmission performance measurements are reported
