Interface Optical Buffer and Packet-Switched Network Cross-Layer Signaling Demonstration

Abstract

Queue management in an interface optical buffer is demonstrated via interoperability with an optical packet switched network. Cross-layer signaling is employed between the input buffer and network to dynamically and error-free reroute dropped wavelength-striped packets.

Cross-Layer Communication With an Optical Packet Switched Network via a Message Injection Control Interface

“…In this letter, the interoperability between the implemented network interface packet buffer and a 4 4 SPINet OPS network test-bed is experimentally demonstrated [8]. The interface buffer actively queues packets prior to injection into the network (Fig.…”
