Architectures and Buffering for All-Optical Packet-Switched Cross-Connects

Abstract: This paper considers the performance of an alloptical packet-switched cross-connect. All-optical header processing and all-optical routing are implemented in the cross-connect architectures. The main metric considered to measure the performance is the packet loss ratio for the buffering. This is influenced primarily by three factors. The first is the cross-connect architecture: feedback or feed-forward buffering, incorporating wavelength domain contention resolution. The second is the selection of the fibre de… Show more

“…Requiring less physical fiber than traveling buffers, recirculating buffers provide flexibility in terms of delay lengths in that packets can be accessed upon each recirculation through the switch fabric [15]. The main drawbacks of recirculating buffering using an electro-optic switch are the loss resulting from traversing the switch fabric multiple times and switch crosstalk that accumulates with multiple traversals of the signal.…”
