SARDANA: Scalable Advanced Ring-based Passive Dense Access Network Architecture
http://www.ict-sardana.eu/
SARDANA is a 7th FP STREP project (proj. no. 217122), that targets the performance enhancement
of dense Fibre-to-the-Home networks, also called PONs (Passive Optical Networks).
They constitute the fundamental segment with the required potential to match the huge capacity
of transport networks with the new user communication demands, where deeper research is still
to be performed.
The key performances that this project aims at radically improve are the scalability and the robustness,
since they constitute pillars of such a cost-sensitive segment (Extracted from the project Web page.)
 

DICONET: Dymanic Impairment Constraint Networking  for Transparent Mesh Optical Networks
http://www.diconet.eu/homepage.asp
The DICONET project is targeting a novel approach to optical networking providing a disruptive solution
for the development of the core network of the future (more info).
It is the vision and goal of our consortium to provide ultra high speed end-to-end connectivity with quality
of service and high reliability through the use of optimized protocols and routing algorithms that will
complement a flexible control and management plane offering flexibility for the future network infrastructure.
