Performance Analysis of a Photonic Switch Architecture Supporting Variable Length Packets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a photonic switch based on a broadcast WDM architecture with tunable transmitters and xed frequency receivers. The switch supports variable length packets which are internally segmented and reassembled. The switch operates under a schedule that masks the transceiver tuning latency. We analyze approximately a queueing model of the switch in order to obtain the queue-length distribution and loss probabilities at the input and output ports. Numerical results for loss probabilities are presented and compared against simulation results.

Photonic Label Switch Supporting Asynchronous and Variable-Length Packets
In this paper, we propose new optical switching architectures supporting asynchronous and variable-length packets. Output line contention is resolved by optical delay line buffers. By introducing a WDM technology, parallel buffer can be equipped with multiple wavelengths on the optical delay line buffer. Differently from existing approaches, a main feature of our proposed architecture is that b...

In this paper, we comparatively evaluate two photonic packet switch architectures with WDM-FDL buffers for synchronized variable length packets. The first one is an output buffer type switch, which stores packets in the FDL buffer attached to each output port. Another is a shared buffer type switch, which stores packets in the shared FDL buffer. The performance of a switch is greatly influenced...

We study photonic packet switching architecture that enables high node throughput and provides priority services. While an ultra-high-speed address-lookup capability can be realized in the optical domain for a photonic packet switch, the optical buffer must be managed in the electrical domain. In this paper, we propose a photonic buffer architecture that can support prioritized buffer managemen...
