摘要：A network element of a transport network has three fabrics housed within asingle shelf of a telco rack, namely a packet fabric, an electrical fabric and an opticalfabric. A stream of traffic including a plurality of lambdas is received at a trunk interface

of such a shelf. The optical fabric in the shelf performs optical switching on the stream toreplace a first lambda in the stream with a second lambda. The first lambda is convertedwithin the shelf into an electrical signal. Also within the shelf, first frames are recoveredfrom the electrical signal. The packet fabric in the shelf is used to perform packetswitching on the first frames to generate a flow of second frames. The flow of secondframes is transmitted at a client interface of the shelf.
