Abstract
Systems and methods for extended reach low differential latency optical networking with optical amplifiers and dispersion compensation modules configured to minimize latency between transmit and receive paths are provided. Additionally, systems and methods are provided for incorporating absolute time references wherein the relative accuracy of clock time between various servers used in various multi-site enterprises is required. The transport systems and methods are used in conjunction with low differential latency systems. The transport systems and methods provide that the differential latency between transmit and receive directions is maintained within about +/−5 microseconds of the transmit/receive path differential delay requirement in order to perform within the overall parameters of the low differential latency system architecture.
