摘要 |
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that include a first gateway circuit in an optical access network connecting a plurality of end-of-network users to a central node, the first gateway circuit connecting one of the plurality of end-of-network users to the central node via fiber optic data lines. Further, the first gateway circuit is configured and arranged to: relay a first set of data between the end-of-network user and the central node using a packet-switching communication protocol, and relay a second set of data between the end-of-network user and the central node using an optical flow switching communication protocol. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first gateway circuit in an optical access network connecting a plurality of end-of-network users to a central node, the first gateway circuit connecting one of the plurality of end-of-network users to the central node via fiber optic data lines, wherein the first gateway circuit is configured and arranged to
relay a first set of data between the end-of-network user and the central node using a packet-switching communication protocol, andrelay a second set of data between the end-of-network user and the central node using an optical flow switching communication protocol; and a second gateway circuit configured to communicate data to and from the end-of-network user via the first gateway circuit, and an optical flow line terminal configured and arranged to route data between the second gateway circuit and a metro-area network or a core network using the optical flow switching communication protocol. |
