We present a sub-millisecond dynamic optical path set up scheme for the multi-mode switching router. In particular, we have implemented the proposed integrated multi-mode scheduler in FPGA hardware in an optical switching testbed, and have demonstrated application triggered real-time sub-millisecond optical path setup. Another key contribution is that the proposed approach brings out the practical value of optical burst switching (OBS), which has stayed mostly in the theoretical regime in the past decade. We show that a truly dynamic optical network can be built with off-the-shelf optical components.
