ABSTRACT
The Datran system is a nationwide all digital switched network which will initially link subscriber terminals in 35 metropolitan areas. It will consist of three distinct elements: a nationwide high-capacity microwave trunking system, computer controlled switching center and local distribution systems especially configured for each of the 35 metropolitan areas. Together these elements will result in an end-to-end network which avoids reliance on existing analog facilities.

Traffic grooming in an optical WDM mesh network
In wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the bandwidth request of a traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a lightpath. Efficiently grooming low-speed connections onto high-capacity lightpaths will improve the network ...
Ethernet passive optical network (EPON): building a next-generation optical access network
This article describes Ethernet passive optical networks, an emerging local subscriber access architecture that combines low-cost point-to-multipoint fiber infrastructure with Ethernet. EPONs are designed to carry Ethernet frames at standard Ethernet ...
