Realization of the stream comparison mechanism in a CSMA/CD type multimode passive optical network node — experiments

In this paper we show and describe the experimental results obtained in the symmetrical, multimode passive optical network with the use of network nodes described in details in [1]. We prove that it is feasible to construct a simple and efficient passive optical network working with the use of CSMA/CD mechanism and that it is possible to construct such a network from a standard, easy to buy components. In the designed and tested network 850 nm VCSEL transceivers were used.
