The input-buffered wavelength-routed (IBWR) switch is a promising switching architecture
for slotted optical packet switching (OPS) networks. The benefits of the IBWR fabric are a …

All-optical label swapping (AOLS) is a promising approach of implementing label swapping
techniques for transparent optical packet switching and forwarding in the optical layer at …

The WASPNET project proposed a packet sequence criterion to preserve end‐to‐end
packet order in optical packet switching (OPS) networks controlled by the scattered …

The load balanced Birkhoff–von Neumann switch is an elegant VOQ architecture with two
outstanding characteristics:(i) it has a computational cost of O (1) iterations and (ii) input …

In this paper we propose an enhanced parallel iterative scheduler for IBWR synchronous
slotted OPS switches in SCWP mode. It obtains a maximal matching of packet demands …

The input‐buffered wavelength‐routed (IBWR) switch is a scalable switch fabric for optical
packet switching (OPS) networks. In synchronous operation, when optical packets are of a …

Fiber optics has developed so rapidly during the last decades that it has be-come the
backbone of our communication systems. Evolved from initially static single-channel point-to …
