Since optical communication is preferable for establishing connections exceeding a certain critical length, for large system sizes the beneficial use of normally conducting wires for the shortest connections becomes an edge effect and can be ignored. This suggests that the performance and cost of an all optical computer might not be much inferior to an optimal hybrid alternative. We argue that ...

Contraposing the subway car control equipment being scattered, the subway train controlnetwork system based on TCN RTP is designed. By constructing the virtual network environmentnetwork with simulation software NS2 and writing message data of transmission layer protocols.Through testing train control network communication efficiency, the influent factors of communication efficiency is known.Tr...

It took roughly 10 years for the transport network industry to migrate from PDH to SONET. As this technology swap comes to an end, WDM technology is dawning, promising to revolutionize the network industry, with the possibility of transport bit rates above 10 Gb/s as well as transparency to signal encodings. However, a new wave of equipment upgrade is unlikely to happen as current SONET equipme...

As the capacity of optical transport networks increases, rapid fault identification and localization become increasingly important. These problems are more challenging than in traditional electronic networks because of optical transparency. In a transparent optical network which does not regenerate optical signals, a fault may propagate to various parts of the network from the origin, and multi...
