One of the difficulties of optical packet switched networks is buffering optical packets in the network. Currently, one solution that can be used for buffering in the optical dom...
—This paper proposes a new switching architecture to be used in all optical networks. The proposed switch, M-B-Quadro switch, is extended from an original 2 x 2 two-stage multi-b...
— Optical packet switches of the foreseeable future are expected to have severely limited buffering capability, since storage of optical signals remains a difficult and expensiv...

: This paper presents the architecture of WONDER, an innovative WDM optical packet network suited for a high-capacity metro environment. The network prototype is under development ...
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that con...
