has serial links used to connect to the customer LANs as well as to the data communication<br />

network (DCN). The Ethernet ports are dual 10/100 ports, operating<br />

either at 100 Mbps (100BaseTX) or at 10 Mbps (10BaseT).<br />

Note that the links represented in Figure 10.2 with a dashed line are not<br />

physical links. In fact, the PE <strong>and</strong> the physical routers are connected through the<br />

WDM testbed equ<strong>ip</strong>ment described later in the chapter.<br />

The WDM testbed is depicted in Figure 10.3. It consists <strong>of</strong> a hub <strong>and</strong> three<br />

remote nodes, connected via a two-fiber counter-rotating ring. On the outer<br />

fiber ring, dedicated (fixed) wavelengths (λ 1, λ 2, λ 3) are used for communication<br />

between the hub <strong>and</strong> the remote nodes. On the inner fiber ring, each node is<br />

provided with a programmable OADM to set up wavelength paths with the<br />

other remote nodes or with the hub. As will be described in Section 10.3.3,<br />

every node is equ<strong>ip</strong>ped with a GbE switch for interconnection between the IP<br />

routers <strong>and</strong> WDM nodes. At the hub, IP traffic can be also be routed to a location<br />

outside the testbed (e.g., the Internet). The remote nodes are located at<br />

business sites where IP <strong>over</strong> 10/100 Base-T is the major service. Therefore, the<br />

transport stack IP/GbE/WDM at 1.25 Gbps will be used. The GbE switches in<br />
