Abstract
This paper presents the work carried out by the Optical Communication Group at Politecnico di Torino in the framework of the RINGO project. The RINGO network is based on a WDM optical ring, with an input queuing access protocol and multicast capabilities. In this paper we present the network architecture and node structure, together with the results obtained on the RINGO experimental demonstrator. We investigate several important transmission issues, such as EDFA gain locking, and the implementation of several subsystems, such as node controller, λ-monitor and packet transmitter.
