An effective buffering architecture for optical packet switching networks

Abstract: A novel optical buffering architecture for Optical Packet Switching (OPS) networks is proposed in this article. The architecture which adopts a fiber-sharing mechanism aims at solving the problem of using a large number of fiber delay lines that are used to solve resource contention in the core node in OPS networks. The new architecture employs fewer fiber delay lines compared to other simple architectures, but can achieve the same performance. Simulation results and analysis show that the new architecture can… Show more

“…The dedicated output FDL buffer can greatly improve OPS performance with significant number of FDLs as well as larger switch dimension. In each output port, the FDL is in segmented share output buffering mode, where each segment of fiber delay lines has two input ports [3]. The OPS architectures based-on shared FDL include: shared output buffer-type packet switching and shared feedback buffer-type packet switching [3].…”

“…As a result, new optical routers exploiting the alloptical data manipulation and contention resolution schemes are needed [11,12]. In this study, an optical router with multistage distributed management and all-optical scalability features for the asynchronous OPS network is presented.…”
