We describe a system in which layer 2 switching is placed directly under the control of layer 3 routing protocols on a hop-by-hop basis. Specifically, ATM switching is controlled ...

—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
As the Internet grows exponentially, scalable high performance routers and switches on backbone are required to provide a large number of ports, higher throughput, lower delay late...
One of the main problems in all-optical packet-switched networks is the lack of optical buffers, and one feasible technology for the constructions of optical buffers is to use opt...
