—It has been studied extensively in the literature how one achieves exact emulation of First In First Out (FIFO) multiplexers for fixed size cells (or packets) using optical cro...
— In this work, we consider access network design for the Optical Flow Switching (OFS) transport architecture [1]–[3]. Our work addresses the all-optical physical layer of the ...

WDM technology has increased network link capacity dramatically, moving the network bottleneck from the transport to the routing layer. Hybrid electro-optical architectures seem at...
We describe a WDM-based optical access network architecture for providing broadband Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a co...
—Optical burst switching (OBS) technology is a promising solution for the next generation Internet backbone. However, call admission control (CAC) and QoS support constitute crit...
