What is BROADCASTING?
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video
content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass
communications medium, but typically one using the
electromagnetic spectrum, in a one-to-many model.
Broadcast and Select WDM Networks
All-optical WDM networks have full potential of
optical transmission capacity and versatility of
communication networks beyond SONET
architectures.
WDM N/W
Broadcast-and-select Wavelength-routing
techniques networks.
Broadcast-and-select techniques
• Two alternate physical architectures for a WDM-based local network have n sets
of transmitters and receivers are attached to either a star coupler or a passive bus.
• Each transmitter sends its information at a fixed wavelength.
•· All the transmissions from the various nodes are combined in a pasive star.
Coupler or coupled onto a bus and sent out to all receivers.
• An interesting point to note is that the WDM setup is protocol transparent.
