Abstract
This paper presents an approach to the realization of a future broad-b and flexible transport network employing an optical network layer. The design methodology for a network demonstrator is presented and a desc ription of the subsystem and component technology developments describ ed. The work presented is the subject of the RACE R2028 ''MWTN'' proje ct.
