Abstract :
Quality-of-service aware packet protection is demonstrated using cross-layer signaling from a delay-line-interferometer-assisted optical-signal-to-noise-ratio monitor. 8×10 Gb/s wavelength-striped optical messages are successfully rerouted based on performance monitoring measurements communicated between the physical and networking layers.
