Abstract
A fully meshed telecommunications network based on an optical core transport network having a plurality of optical nodes is described. An electronic edge switch is connected to an optical node and dedicated channels are established between all the possible pairs of electronic edge switches through their associated optical nodes and the optical core transport network. Connection paths are set up using a channel or channels between a pair of electronic edge switches which perform major functions concerning connection routes, including rate regulation, path establishment, etc.
