We describe the practical and fundamental limitations of the more prominent optical buffering approaches. The architectural implementation and needs of an optical packet switch ar...
Control Plane architectures enhance transport networks with distributed signaling and routing mechanisms which allow dynamic connection control. As a result, layer 1 switching net...
User-controlled circuit-switched optical networks are gaining popularity in an effort to fulfill the insatiable data transport needs of the online community. In this paper we cons...
This paper presents a study on the Grade-of-Service (GoS) differentiation of static resource allocation in lightpath routed WDM networks, where lightpath requests between node pai...

In this paper, we present a new hybrid optical burst switch architecture (HOBS) that takes advantage of the pre-transmission idle time during lightpath establishment. In dynamic c...
