oPASS: A simulation tool for the performance evaluation of Optical Packet Switching architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe oPASS (Optical PAcket Switch Simulator), a simulation tool specifically designed for the evaluation of slotted Optical Packet Switching (OPS) switching architectures. oPASS is implemented in OMNET++, a general purpose eventdriven simulation framework. oPASS allows the evaluation of classical parameters in packet networks like packet loss probability and distribution of packet delay. Specific issues associated to OPS networks are also incorporated: a set of particular OPS networks traffic generators, simulation modules for the evaluation of particular OPS switching architectures and the collection of specific statistics associated to packet order issues in OPS networks.

متن کاملPerformance characteristics of cascaded delay-line node architectures in single-path interconnection networks
Internally buffered multistage interconnection network architectures have been widely used in parallel computer systems and large switching fabrics. Migration from electrical domain to optical domain has raised the necessity of developing node architectures with optical buffers. Cascaded fibre delay line architectures can be seen as possible realizations of output and shared buffering in a 2 2-...
