“…However, this tremendous bandwidth was not fully utilized by a straightforward employment of state-of-the-art transceivers. The reason is mainly the speed mismatch between the fiber's bandwidth and the physical limitations on the speed of the electronic s. This problem is known as the electronic bottleneck problem [1], and it is better understood if one compares the fiber's bandwidth of 50 THz to the electronics maximum transmission rate of 10-40 Gb/s, depending on the technology. The Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) [2] technique was developed as a viable method to exploit the fiber's bandwidth.…”

Multicast communication in single -hop broadcast-and-select Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks has received considerable attention from researchers. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the multicast scheduling techniques in this environment. It considers different challenges that are faced in the design of multicasting techniques, and presents a classification of such schemes. A survey of the specific techniques is then presented, and a comparison is drawn between such techniques.

Lightwave technology is well‐established for long‐haul and point‐to‐point applications, but current research is looking at ways to extend it to multiple‐access computer networks and the distribution plant. How do we interconnect more than 100 users at data rates above 1Gb/s? What novel optoelectronic components are needed to realize the photonic networks of the future? We answer these questions here and in another paper in this issue. The companion paper discusses the constraints that photonic components impose on topologies for multiple‐access networks. Here, we examine how the unique properties of photonic components can be exploited to realize novel routing and multiplexing functions. We show that specific applications and types of traffic carried will determine the configurations of future photonic networks. We conclude that ambitious photonic solutions will compete strongly with electronic approaches.
