“…In the presence of an excess loss per stage that is independent of Δ, one would expect the optimal tree topology to reduce to a star, which has indeed been noted in [6]. However, as we see in Figure 2(a), even in the presence of an excess loss per stage that scales logarithmically (in dB) with Δ, the optimal topology still reduces to a star.…”

Abstract-In this work, we consider access network design for the Optical Flow Switching (OFS) transport architecture [1]-[3]. Our work addresses the all-optical physical layer of the data plane in the context of tree-based networks. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of passive and active components-including optical amplifiers-and ultimately integrate these building blocks in the most economically attractive fashion for the required number of users.

“…An example tree network, with level indices indicated, is shown in Figure 1(a). We restrict our attention to tree topologies because they are known to be capable of supporting many users [6]. Furthermore, other common topologies (e.g., star, bus) are special cases of trees.…”
