Multi-stage optical buffered switch for IP traffic
A novel architecture is proposed for future multi-terabit IP (internet protocol) routers, employing multiple cascaded stages of optical switching and buffering. WDM is used within the node to facilitate its operation. External synchronization is not required, and a void-filling algorithm is used to simplify hardware requirements. Packet priorities are not implemented in the current version of t...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Multi-Terabit Optical Burst/Packet Router prototype
Introduction Future routers for IP core networks will soon cross the Terabit capacity barrier, requiring vendors to investigate new architectures and technologies. In this paper, we report implementation of a rack-mounted prototype, assembled as a proofof-concept for a scalable multi-Terabit IP optical router (TIPOR). The design is based on the new technique of burst switching coupled to an opt...
متن کاملIP over DWDM
This paper deals with the concept of transmitting raw IP packets over an optical layer, which employs DWDM for increasing its bandwidth demand. It also gives a brief introduction to DWDM systems. The requirements for creating an all optical networks and the issues pertaining such an evolution have been discussed here. The protocol architecture based on multiprotocol lambda switching has also be...
متن کاملMulti-terabit hybrid photonic switching and routing
Constructing multi-Terabit switches and routers entirely out of electronic cross-bars require multiple racks of switches and huge number of interconnects. The cost and power consumption of such a system is very high and has a limited scalability. The all-optical switching has the problem of buffering and processing and the construction of multi-terabit switches and routers based on all-optical ...
متن کاملOn the design of IP routers Part 1: Router architectures
Internet Protocol (IP) networks are currently undergoing transitions that mandate greater bandwidths and the need to prepare the network infrastructures for converged trac (voice, video, and data). Thus, in the emerging environment of high performance IP networks, it is expected that local and campus area backbones, enterprise networks, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will use multigigab...
