Abstract
IP over WDM has been investigated in FLAMINGO – Flexible multiwavelength optical local access network supporting multimedia broadband services, a multidisciplinary project Involving Dutch research institutes and led by CTIT – University of Twente. Flamingo’s focus on access networks comes from the tendency of the 80/20 rules, which says that 80% of the traffic is local and 20% is external. In this paper we evaluate the BER/PER performance of a FLAMINGO network. Here we consider the influence of receiver noise, photo-detector shot noise, crosstalk and beat noise components carrying out of the beating of the signal with accumulated amplifiers spontaneous emission (ASE) and crosstalk developed at each access point or bridge. We carry out the performance evaluation at a bit rate of 10 Gbit/s which shows that the packet error rate (PER) and bit error rate (BER) both are limited by a signal spontaneous beat noise and crosstalk.
