We propose a new optical transport solution, TSAN, based on variable bit rate packet transmission and passive fast switching. The expected TSAN CAPEX and OPEX saving are assessed using scenarios inspired from the current and the next generation network architectures.

Mots clés: Optical packet switching; Time and Spectrum Aggregation Network

Domaines: Réseaux et télécommunications [cs.NI]; Optique / photonique
