Abstract:Wire-rate packet processing and its energy saving for over 100 Gbps speed of line are the issues to resolve in optical packet switching. For that purpose, we have newly developed an electronic header processing unit for optical packets in which the 23-bit longest prefix matching (LPM) forwarding engine LSIs are embedded. This paper reports the successful experiment of electronic header processing and optical switching of optical packets by the use of the LSIs. This success also indicates that optical packet sw… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
