Journal ArticleDOI
Buffering in optical packet switches
TL;DR: In this article, a categorization of optical buffering strategies for optical packet switches is presented, and a comparison of the performance of these strategies both with respect to packet loss/delay and bit error rate (BER) performance is made.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The work carried out under the European ACTS KEOPS (KEys to Optical Packet Switching) project, centering on the definition, development and assessment of optical packet switching and routing networks capable of providing transparency to the payload bit rate, is reviewed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of optical packet switching in future communication networks
TL;DR: This article focuses on the concept of an optical packet router as an edge network device, functioning as an interface between the electronic and optical domains, that may provide greater flexibility and efficiency than an electronic terabit router with reduced cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
WASPNET: a wavelength switched packet network
David K. Hunter,M.H.M. Nizam,M.C. Chia,Ivan Andonovic,K.M. Guild,Anna Tzanakaki,Mike J. O'Mahony,L.D. Bainbridge,Marc Stephens,Richard V. Penty,Ian H. White +10 more
TL;DR: A photonic packet switching testbed is detailed which will allow the ideas developed within WASPNET to be tested in practice, permitting the practical problems of their implementation to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approaches to optical Internet packet switching
David K. Hunter,Ivan Andonovic +1 more
TL;DR: The major advances toward the goal of developing an extensive optical packet-switched layer employing fixed-length packets are summarized, but initial concepts on the support of variable-length IP-like optical packets are also introduced.
