Demonstration of Novel Multi-Granular Switch Architecture on an Application-Aware End-to-End Multi-Bit Rate OBS Network Testbed

We demonstrate application-aware bandwidth reservation in an end-to-end multi-bit rate (10 Gbps and 40 Gbps), multi-granular OBS test-bed. This is achieved by hardware implementation and deployment of a hybrid switch based on MEMS and SOA-MZI.
