METHOD FOR PROCESSING TRAFFIC IN AN OPTICAL NETWORK AND OPTICAL NETWORK COMPONENT

摘要

A method for processing traffic in an optical network is provided, wherein the optical network comprises a transport network with a first fiber and a second fiber, wherein traffic over the first and the second fiber is conveyed in opposite directions; wherein a first traffic is branched off from the first fiber towards an optical entity; wherein said first traffic is processed at the optical entity; and wherein a second traffic is fed from the optical entity onto the second fiber. Also an according optical network component is suggested.
