Demonstration of end-to-end interoperability between legacy 100MbE and a 40Gb/s optical label switched network layer

Demonstration of burst mode assembly, detection, and recovery of 100MbE frames as 40Gb/s optical packets enabling scalable interoperability with legacy networks. End-to-end adaptation with <;10
