Multi-stage optical buffered switch for IP traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the switch, and the issue of header table lookup is not considered. Performance with respect to packet loss is studied by simulation, demonstrating that this multi-stage concept results in substantial hardware reduction.

Three-Stage Clos-Network Switch Architecture with Buffered Center Stage for Multi-Class Traffic
Memory-space-memory (MSM) arrangement is a popular architecture to implement three-stage Clos-network switches with distributed arbitration. The scalability of this architecture, however, is limited by the round-trip communication delay between the first and the second stages. Moreover, virtual output queue (VOQ) does not completely remove the blocking in the buffered modules under multi-class ...

Scalable Multi-module Packet Switches with Quality of Service Santosh Krishnan The rapid growth in packet-based network traffic has resulted in a growing demand for network switches that can scale in capacity with increasing interface transmission rates and higher port counts. Furthermore, the continuing migration of legacy circuit-switched services to a shared IP/MPLS packet-based network requ...
متن کاملNode architecture design for all-optical IP packet switching
In order to support efficiently the fast-growing demand for transmission capacity, optical packet-switched systems seem to be strong candidates as they allow fast dynamic allocation of WDM channels combined with a high degree of statistical resource sharing. In this work, we propose the architecture of an input/shared-buffered optical packet switching node, for all-optical switching of IP traff...
