Title :
Physical impairments & network limitations when interconnecting multiple DOD-N routers

Abstract :
An optical router that includes wavelength conversion and buffering will produce some non-idealities in the output data. We study-the extent to which system impairments due to this non-ideal data will limit the number of number of routers that can be interconnected as well as the total fiber transmission length for the network.
