The working title of the paper is "Adaptive Transceivers in Nonlinear Flexible Networks", refer to the published paper for more physical details of the set up. Files: NoDBP.dat - contains the results of calculations of data throughput vs length for the point to point link and mesh network described in the publication. GNUPlot.plt - contains the script file used to produce the graphs. Details: NoDBP.dat Contians two blocks of data, first is for the point to point link, second is for the mesh network based on DT core. first data block unit is throughput per transceiver [Gbps/TRx] second data block unit is total throughput of mesh network [Tbps] Each block has 5 columns with data for each length scale within a row. 1st column is the length of the shortest link in number of spans 2nd column is the Shannon capacity (col 5) as a trend line 3rd column is throughput for shannon capacity quantized in 100Gbps 4th column is throughput for shannon capacity quantized in 25Gbps 5th column is throughput for shannon capacity without quantization
