Optical Switching and Networking

چکیده
Next-generation SONET/SDH provides carriers with new capabilities for building advanced Ethernet data services. Along these lines, numerous Ethernet-over-SONET studies have been done, with most focusing on point-to-point private line type services. This paper introduces the more challenging problem of provisioning multi-point-to-multi-point Ethernet LAN services over inverse-multiplexing networks and proposes novel overlay strategies based upon star, bus, and minimum spanning tree topologies. Multi-tiered protection schemes are also developed to help set up these respective overlay designs. Detailed simulation results are then presented along with directions for future work. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Optical-packet switching is an attractive technology geared towards integration of data and optical networking. The immense bandwidth provided by optical networking and the capability to switch packets directly at the optical layer are a powerful combination for the Next Generation Internet where scalability, agility, and performance are important considerations. Early optical-packet switching ...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength switching in IP optical nodes adopting different buffering strategies
The paper addresses the topic of long-haul optical networking for the provision of large-bandwidth IP services. A class of optical packet switching architectures is considered which adopts an arrayed wavelength grating device as packet router. The architecture performs slotted packet switching operations and fully exploits the wavelength routing capabilities by allowing multi-wavelength switchi...

متن کاملRealizing Dynamic Optical Networking
Electronic asynchronous packet switching has been developed since the early 1960s and now, at the dawn of the 21 century, it is a well-understood technology. On the other hand, all-optical packet switching, a major candidate for the realization of dynamic optical networking, is a new technology, currently under-going research and development. In this paper we show that the transition from elect...
متن کاملTowards Scalable, Contention-free Data Center Networking with All-Optical Switching Fabric
We propose a scalable all-optical switching architecture towards contention-free data center networking. The arrayed-waveguide-grating router (AWGR) based switching fabric utilizes wavelength parallelism to alleviate contention, to reduce latency, and to improve scalability. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4250) Networks; (200.6715) Switching
متن کاملA comparison of optical buffering technologies
We describe the practical and fundamental limitations of the more prominent optical buffering approaches. The architectural implementation and needs of an optical packet switch are used as a foundation for the study. We also present initial results for a buffered, all-optical, 40 Gb/s packet switch. c © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
