While the technological evolution since C. Clos's seminal article (see Bell Sys. Tech. J., vol.
32, p. 406-24, 1953) on multistage switch architectures has been huge, his work and ideas …

We present a CLOS architecture for optical packet switching that allows for large throughput,
low latency and contention resolution in the optical domain. The switch is scalable in terms …

The concept of optical packet switching (OPS) is emerging as an alternative to coarser-
grained switching in the optical domain. Despite the significant technological challenges it …

The large growth of telecommunication traffic demand generated by multiple new
applications and expected to last at least for the next decade will force Telecom operators to …

Optical packet switching has been researched for about two decades, but it has not been
deployed in commercial networks yet. Nonetheless, the research on optical packet switching …

Rapidly increasing network traffic is posing a challenge to the construction of future routers.
While high-capacity transport has kept pace with rising traffic demands through the use of …

The objective of this study is to propose a new optical packet switching architecture in which
the wavelength converters, needed to solve output packet contentions, are shared per input …

Optical packet switches that scale to thousands of input/output ports might find their
application in next-generation datacenters (DCs). They will allow interconnecting the servers …
