Different switching techniques have been proposed to design optical switch architectures. Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) techniques were extensively investigated to implement sw...

Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) suffer from optical-loss during switching and crosstalk problem in the switches. The crosstalk problem is solved by routing mess...
— Three-stage non-blocking switching fabrics are the next step in scaling current crossbar switches to many hundreds or few thousands of ports. Congestion (output contention) man...
We consider input-queued switch architectures dealing at their interfaces with variable-size packets, but internally operating on fixed-size cells. Packets are segmented into cells...

Most high-end switches use an input-queued or a combined input- and output-queued architecture. The switch fabrics of these architectures commonly use an iterative scheduling syst...
