Appendix A Architectures for optical packet and burst switches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS) are optical networking concepts based on fully exploiting fast dynamic allocation of (D)WDM channels. Compared to more static approaches focusing on providing endto-end optical channels, OPS and OBS aim at providing greater bandwidth efficiency, granularity and flexibility. In this paper we give an overview of the issues arising when designing an optical switch for either OPS or OBS, including packet formats, contention resolution techniques, and switching fabrics.

Multistage Architectures for Optical Packet Switching Using SOA-Based Broadcast-and-Select Switches
Optical packet/burst switches can be scaled to high port counts using multi-stage architectures. To reduce the number of switching elements in SOA-based broadcast-and-select architectures, we deploy only a few stages while exploiting the WDM dimension.

The service evolution and the rapid increase in traffic levels fuel the interest toward switching paradigms enabling the fast allocation of Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM channels in an on demand fashion with fine granularities (microsecond scales). For this reason, in the last years, different optical switching paradigms have been proposed (Sabella et al., 2000): optical-packet switching...

متن کاملOptical Interconnection Technology in Switches, Routers and Optical Cross Connects
The performance of dataand telecommunication equipment must keep up with the increasing network speed. At the same time, one must deal with the internal interconnection complexity, often growing exponentially with the number of ports. Therefore, new interconnection technologies to be used internally in the equipment are needed. Optical interconnection technology is a promising alternative and m...
