Node architecture design for all-optical IP packet switching
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to support efficiently the fast-growing demand for transmission capacity, optical packet-switched systems seem to be strong candidates as they allow fast dynamic allocation of WDM channels combined with a high degree of statistical resource sharing. In this work, we propose the architecture of an input/shared-buffered optical packet switching node, for all-optical switching of IP traffic flows. Since a limited hardware complexity is a key requirement for all-optical switches, due to the high cost of optical components, different node configurations are compared in order to evaluate the effect of a hardwarecomplexity variation on the performance of the proposed architecture.

In future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. In this paper we propose a self-routing OTDM node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...
متن کاملThe Designs of a Scalable Optical Packet Switching Architecture
This paper proposes a new switching architecture to be used in all optical packet switching networks. The proposed switch is derived from an original 2 × 2 two-stage multi-buffer switched delay line based optical switching node, known as an M-Quadro node. By incorporating bypass lines into the M-Quadro architecture and employing a novel switch control strategy, the optical packet switching node...

متن کاملFLAMINGO: A Packet-switched IP over WDM Metro Optical Network
We present a network architecture of an all-optical wavelength-and-time-slotted Metropolitan Optical Network. A couple of important aspects of this architecture include all-optical packet switching and the ability to put IP packets directly over WDM. Since the FLAMINGO network has a ring topology we focus on issues such as chromatic dispersion and network synchronisation and suggest ways and me...
