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 common approach in an ingress switch to access a slotted all-optical packet-switched
network is the TTA (timer-based/threshold-based bandwidth access) bandwidth access …

We consider a metro network architecture that consists of a buffer-less all-optical core
switch, where a number of edge switches are connected to the core switch. Slotted all …

The next-generation Internet should be based on high-capacity agile all-optical networks. A
single-hop time-slotted all-optical packet-switched network is studied as a potential …

Feature Issue on Photonics in Switching We consider an all-optical slotted packet-switched
network interconnected by a number of bufferless all-optical switches with contention-based …

In this paper, we study the impacts of traffic allocations on the performance of optical packet
switches (OPS). In particular, two different cases are investigated where traffic loads are …

This letter presents a packet loss rate (PLR) differentiation scheme suitable for slotted optical
packet switched networks. An analytical model of the proposed scheme is presented and …

Optical Packet Switched (OPS) networks are known to suffer from high packet losses due to
contentions. Techniques such as fiber delay line (FDL) buffering and wavelength conversion …

Among the many different bandwidth access schemes used in optical packet switched
networks nowadays, the issue of transmitting optical packets (called slots in this paper) …

We address the problem of congestion resolution in optical packet switching (OPS). We
consider a fairly generic all-optical packet switch architecture with a feedback optical buffer …
