We investigate a load-balancing method in a time division multiplexed agile all-photonic
network (AAPN), which has a star topology and a buffeHess optical core. This method for …

This paper raises the issues faced in edge node design for an agile all-photonic network
(AAPN) and proposes solutions. The architecture discussed addresses several issues such …

An optical multihop network architecture that uses wavelength-based cell-switching and that
consists of optically separated passive star couplers interconnected by 2* 2 electronic …

This paper presents an overview of recent and current work being conducted in the “Agile All-
Photonic Networks”, AAPN, Research Network. An AAPN is a wavelength division …

The next generation metro network is most likely to be based on high-capacity agile all-
optical networks. We consider a metro network architecture that consists of a number of …

The agile all-photonic network (AAPN) is a network that uses time division multiplexing
(TDM) to better utilize the bandwidth of WDM systems. AAPN uses agile all-photonic …

The advantages and issues in deploying a fast photonic network on top of a reconfigurable
WDM network are discussed. The agile photonic network is deployed as another user of the …

The problem studied in this paper consists of two parts, a burst mode study and a packet
scheduling algorithm applied to access nodes in a multiservice optical packet-switched …

The internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the
electronic domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to …

The Agile All Photonic Network (AAPN) is a high speed transparent agile optical transport
network. A key issue in these all photonic networks is the distributed scheduling method …
