This paper demonstrates 2.5 Gbps OBS network testbed. Combined with a reliable control channel, a high speed data channel successfully operates in the burst mode. Also, using a fast optical switch, one can reduce the guard time overhead. The designed protocol and accompanying physical architecture allows much flexibility to shift between circuit-oriented and packet-switched traffic scenarios. The OBT architecture is thus a promising candidate for future WDM-based ring networks.
