Performance Model of an Optical Switch using Fiber Delay Lines for Resolving Contentions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that contains only a single FDL for contention resolution. The analytical model derived for the performance of an optical switch based on this buffer is verified using simulations. The analytical model can be utilized with both packet and burst switching schemes to characterize the performance of switches augmented with this FDL architecture.

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

This work is based on the optical switch architecture proposed in [5][6] to handle variable-length packets such as IP datagrams. This optical switch is based on an AWG device to route packets and is equipped with a fiber delay-line stage as optical input buffer. Unfortunately, this switch would require considerable buffering capability to achieve acceptable performance. A possible solution, s...
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...

ABSTRACT Recently, optical ATM switches, composed of optical switches, fiber delay lines and other devices, have been proposed by researchers world-wide as a way of overcoming the EMI, pinout and interconnection problems that would be encountered in future large electronic switch cores. Attaining the size of buffers (buffer depth) in optical ATM fabrics that would be required in practice is a m...
متن کاملA new performance model of optical burst switching with fiber delay lines
We present a new performance model for a prioritized optical burst switch architecture employing fiber delay lines (FDLs) as optical buffers to reduce the burst loss probability. The performance of such an architecture cannot be captured accurately using traditional queueing models since FDLs behave fundamentally differently from conventional electronic buffers. We formulate a Markovian model t...
