“…To reduce the noise due to cross talk dynamic wavelength reallocation is used which result in an increase in maximu m buffering time. This wavelength conversion also reduces packet loss probability [19] . To minimize cross talk in DW DM networks TW Cs has been used as buffer gates.…”

Abstract-In this paper four fiber-loop-buffer based photonic packet switched architectures are compared. It is done in terms of their packet loss probability and their optical cost under various load conditions for the random t raffic model. The recirculat ing type delay lines are used for the storage of packets to resolve the contention. The architectures use semiconductor optical amp lifiers(SOAs) and tunable wavelength converters(TWCs) in the recircu lating loop buffer. The architectures have advantage of simu ltaneous Read/Write and, wavelength reallocation using TWCs in the recirculat ing loop buffer. Therefore, it improves the switch performance over the architectures using SOAs in the loop buffer. The cost of the various architectures is evaluated by considering FCC (fiber-tochip coupling) and the WSU (wavelength speed up factor) model.

“…Several researchers investigated photonic packet switches/routers (e.g., [8,6,2,15,11]), and some have introduced an optical buffer [8,6,2]. The functions of packet switches are roughly divided into the following five functions: (1) address/label lookup (i.e., forwarding), (2) switching, (3) buffer management, (4) buffering, and (5) routing functions.…”

Moreover, improving function (1) is promising because high-speed processing can be achieved by optical analog processing such as multi-wavelength label processing [15] and optical code label processing [11].…”

We study photonic packet switching architecture that enables a high node throughput and provides priority services in DiffServ (Differentiated Services). As we will show in this paper, a photonic packet switch can be equipped with an ultrahigh-speed address-lookup capability in the optical domain. However, the optical buffer must be managed in the electrical domain. In this paper, we investigate buffer management schemes with less complexity, such that the capability of the ultra-high-speed packet forwarding can be sustained in the photonic switch. We propose an implementation method for PBS (Partial Buffer Sharing) that provides DiffServ AF (Assured Forwarding). We show that PBS is applicable to single-stage optical buffer. Also, we propose a new buffer management method, called PBSO (PBS with Overwriting), which is applicable to broadcast-andselect-based single-stage optical buffer. PBSO is also applicable to the current space-switch-based single-stage optical buffer with an addition of a few optical components. The PBS and PBSO methods are based on a single queue and their complexities are 0(1) and O{p ), respectively, where pis the number oflevels of drop precedence. Through simulation study, we show that both methods provide different levels of drop precedence for DiffServ AF, and that PBSO improves buffer utilization and the packet loss probability of both drop-level packets.Keywords: Photonic packet switch, buffer management, partial buffer sharing with overwriting, single queue, DiffServ, level of drop precedence

SUMMARYResults for optical switch dimensioning are obtained by analysing an urn occupancy problem in which a random number of balls is used. This analysis is applied to a high speed bufferless optical switch which uses tuneable wavelength converters to resolve contention between packets at the output fibres. Under symmetric packet routing the urn problem reduces to the classical occupancy problem. Since the problem is large scale and the loss probabilities are small, exact analysis by combinatorial methods is problematic. As an alternative, we outline a large deviations approximation which may be generalised in various ways.
