— We study the problem of determining the minimum number of limited range wavelength converters needed to construct strictly, wide-sense, and rearrangeably nonblocking optical cr...
—The prospects of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) as a cost-effective switching paradigm for future all-optical transport networks would greatly benefit from minimizing the number ...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of placing limited number of wavelength converting nodes in a multi-fiber network with static traffic demands and propose a tabu sear...
— In this paper, we present the architectural design of optical burst-buffers that can truly emulate input queuing and accommodate asynchronous burst operation. The architectural...

We consider an asynchronous all optical packet switch (OPS) where each link consists of N wavelength channels and a pool of C ≤ N full range tunable wavelength converters. Under...
