Generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology is a very promising protocol technology for future optical networks. GMPLS technology interconnects new and legacy networks by automating connection provisioning and traffic engineering. The present electrical interconnects for the system on chip (SoC) are unable to satisfy the multiple design requirements of bandwidth, data rate and latency. In this paper, for the first time we have proposed a micro resonator based GMPLS router for optical network on chip (ONoC). The evolution of such a router node on integrated circuit technology will cause the system design to move towards a communication-based architecture. The concept of an integrated GMPLS optical interconnect will be a potential technological solution, alleviating some of the more pressing issues involved in exchanging data between cores in SoC architectures. The investigation for ONoC was carried out at the physical level, where the system performance on the basis of crosstalk, blocking probability, offered traffic load and packet error rate (PER) was analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
