We describe the practical and fundamental limitations of the more prominent optical buffering approaches. The architectural implementation and needs of an optical packet switch ar...
Abstract All-optical packet switched networking is hampered by the problem of realizing viable queues for optical packets. Packets can be buffered in delay lines, but delay linesdo...
— In the absence of a cost-effective technology for storing optical signals, emerging optical packet switched (OPS) networks are expected to have severely limited buffering capab...

In this paper we investigate various performance measures of interest, when comparing fast packetswitched networks that operate with either fixed or variable packet sizes. These p...
-- High performance packet switches frequently use a centralized scheduler (also known as an arbiter) to determine the configuration of a non-blocking crossbar. The scheduler often...
