This paper presents an overview of recent and current work being conducted in the “Agile All-
Photonic Networks”, AAPN, Research Network. An AAPN is a wavelength division …

" Agile All-Photonic Networks"(AAPN) is the theme of a Canadian research collaboration. An
AAPN is a wavelengthdivision-multiplexed network that consists of several overlaid stars …

The goal of this study is to develop an all-optical photonic network core that stretches as
close as possible to the end-user. A practical paradigm for achieving an agile all-photonic …

This paper raises the issues faced in edge node design for an agile all-photonic network
(AAPN) and proposes solutions. The architecture discussed addresses several issues such …

The Agile All-photonic Backbone Network (AAPN) architecture has been proposed by the
telecommunication industry as a potential candidate for the ultra high speed Next …

The agile all-photonic network (AAPN) is a network that uses time division multiplexing
(TDM) to better utilize the bandwidth of WDM systems. AAPN uses agile all-photonic …

The multihop transmission technique has many promising features for large‐scale
multiwavelength optical networking. This paper proposes an approach to the flexibility in …

A novel photonic network, MATRIX (for multi-wavelength all-optical transparent information
exchange), is proposed in this paper. The all-optical multihop network supports wavelength …

We propose an all-optical networking solution for a wide area network (WAN) based on the
notion of multipoint-to-multipoint lightpaths that, for short, we call" multipaths". A multipath …

This paper addresses various issues in an all-photonic network called APOSN (All-Photonic
Overlaid-Star Network). By revisiting the fundamental star topology, a scalable architecture …
