Convergence through packet-aware transport [Invited]
2006
Journal of Optical Networking
We provide a comprehensive description of the Packet-Aware Transport Network (PATN) architecture first introduced in [IEEE Commun. Mag. (3) 120 (2004) ]. The PATN architecture provides a more efficient transport of data services such as Ethernet and IP than traditional time-division multiplexing-(TDM) centric access network architectures. The PATN architecture builds upon several emerging technologies and improvements in silicon processing to seamlessly converge multiple network functions onto
