Abstract

This paper describes simulation analysis of an optical packet switch that has a limited capability to "see" packets that have not yet arrived at the input port. The goal of the effort is to design a variable-length optical packet switch without random access buffering. Relying on this future information, the switch tries to maximize the number of bytes switched. While we found that this optimization does not improve the throughput significantly, we are currently studying improvements of this architecture that hold greater promise.

Packet Switch Architectures for Very Small Optical RAM
INTERNET '09: Proceedings of the 2009 First International Conference on Evolving Internet

One of the difficulties of optical packet switched (OPS) networks is buffering optical packets in the network. The traditional rule-of-thumb buffering approach needs huge buffers due to ultra high speed of optical networks. However, optical RAM is still ...
A new shared-buffer packet switch in ATM networks

To improve overall cell loss rate and fairness problem in shared-buffer switches, a new output-queued shared-buffer switch is proposed in this paper. In the proposed shared-buffer switches, a novel structure of output queues is used to improve the ...
A framework for fiber delay-line buffers in packet-based asynchronous multifiber optical networks (PAMFONET)

A major challenge in packet-based optical networks is packet contention, which occurs when two or more packets are heading to the same output at the same time. To resolve contention in the optical domain, a fundamental approach is fiber delay-line (FDL) ...
