Buffer scaling for optical packet switching networks with shared RAM

According to a historical rule of thumb, which is widely used in routers, the buffer size of each output link of a router should be set to the product of the bandwidth and the average round-trip time. However, it is very difficult to satisfy this buffer requirement for ultra-high-speed dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks with the current technology. Recently, many researchers...

Dynamically Reconfigurable Optical Buffer and Multicast-enabled Switch Fabric for Optical Packet Switching

Output - Buffer ATM Packet Switching for Integrated

| In this paper, we give an overview of the basic design principles and trade-oos of output-buuer ATM switching. Output-buuer switches give optimal performance in terms of ooering band-width guarantees to individual ows. Bandwidth scheduling and memory bandwidth requirements are also described.

Sirén Optical Packet Switching

In this thesis recent research in the area of optical packet switching is reviewed, the main problems in the area are identified and a possible solution to some of the problems, optical burst switching, is studied in more detail. Optical burst switching and the JET protocol are studied by means of a simulation program specially built for this purpose. Optical packet networks are networks, where...
