Abstract

Final Report of COST 239 Chapter 2 deals with the basic assumptions, concerning traffic demand, choice of nodes and transmission techniques, which have been used to design the pan-European network. Chapter 3 is devoted to the transmission aspects: it contains the results of the comparison between the different transmission techniques available at the moment to provide high capacity between nodes. We essentially compared the wavelength divison multiplexing technique with so-called time divison multiplexing. Chapter 4 describes the two network approaches developed within COST 239, i. e. the partioned structures and the gridconnect. Chapter 5 presents the results concerning the availability of these networks, starting from data relative to the different components or devices. Chapter 6 deals with the evaluation criteria of these strutures, Chapter 7 with the future work, and finally Chapter 8 concludes the document.
