Abstract
Many efforts are being made on the development of future optical communications networks, for both telecommunications1 and computer2-4applications. STARNET is an experimental multi-Gbits optical WDM LAN being developed at Stanford University.3,4 STARNET facilitates network control by creating two logical sub-networks: a 1.25 Gbits reconfigurable multihop packet-switched subnetwork for payload data, and a 125 Mbits FDDI-compatible subnetwork for control. Both networks are created on a single physical star topology.
