For pt. I see ibid., vol. 6, no. 3, p. 12-27, 1992. A survey of wavelength-division-multiplexing
(WDM)-based local lightwave networks is presented. The general characteristics of multihop …

The steady state behavior of regular two-connected multihop networks in uniform traffic
under a hot-potato and a simple single-buffer deflection routing technique is analyzed for …

Architectures for packet switches are approaching the limit of electronic switching speed.
This raises the question of how best to utilize advances in photonic technology to enable …

Das Internetprotokoll (IP) spielt eine tragende Rolle bei der Entwicklung von Netzwerken
und Diensten. In diesem maßgeblichen Werk werden vielfältige Aspekte des …

An approach to optical packet switching is discussed, which uses small, simplified optical
elements for traffic routing, merging, and shaping. The elements are constructed from 2/spl …

This paper proposes two almost all-optical packet switch architectures, called the" packing
switch" and the" scheduling switch" architecture, which when combined with appropriate …

Photonic all-optical switching is widely considered as one of the technique to utilize the
enormous optical bandwidth. Optical packet switching provides high speed, data rate …

Regular two-connected multihop transparent optical networks using ultrahigh bit-rate single-
wavelength on/off keying are addressed. A novel solution for packet and node architecture is …

We propose a communication protocol, called the virtual circuit deflection (VCD) protocol,
which combines some of the individual characteristics of virtual circuit switching and …

We present a methodology that can identify and formulate performance characteristics of a
computational application and uncover program performance trends on very large, future …
