Exact emulation of a priority queue with a switch and delay lines

Abstract All-optical packet switched networking is hampered by the problem of realizing viable queues for optical packets. Packets can be buffered in delay lines, but delay linesdonotfunctionallyemulatequeuesfromaninput-output point of view. In this paper we consider the problem of exact emulation of a priority queue of size K using a switching system comprised of a switch of size (M + 1)
