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

摘要

A method for processing traffic in an optical network. The optical network includes a transport network with a first fiber and a second fiber, wherein traffic over the first and second fibers is conveyed in opposite directions. A first traffic is branched off from the first fiber towards an optical entity and the first traffic is processed at the optical entity. A second traffic is fed from the optical entity onto the second fiber. There is also described a corresponding optical network.
