Abstract:An optical packet and circuit integrated network (OPCInet) will allow diverse services, enhanced functional flexibility, and efficient energy consumption, as optical packet switching (OPS) and optical circuit switching (OCS) links are provided on the same infrastructure. In this paper, we design and develop a control system consisting of header processing for optical packets, signaling and routing for optical path setup, and wavelength resource control and link switching between OPS and OCS for the efficient u… 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.
