Adaptive Gigabit Fiber Optics Local Area Network

Abstract

This is a final report on the investigation of adaptive gigabit fiber optics local area network. The following tasks were completed: (a) exploration of tree topologies with passive taps (Tree-Net), (b) investigation of novel, adaptive access scheduling mechanisms (Virtual Queue), (c) use of time division slot switching for the interconnection of FOLANs and the implementation of regular network topologies (e.g., Manhattan grid), (d) use of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) in order to increase the throughput capacity and functionality of Tree-Net, (e) development of a simple (from the implementation standpoint) and yet efficient protocol - RATO-NET - for a twin, unidirectional fiber bus architecture, and (f) implementation of an experimental RATO-NET, and comparison of the experimental results with analysis simulation.
