We consider an asynchronous all optical packet switch (OPS) where each link consists of N wavelength channels and a pool of C ≤ N full range tunable wavelength converters. Under...
Abstract— Wavelength is one of the most important resources in Wavelength Division Multiplexing(WDM) networks. In optical routing, we are given a set of communication paths (or l...
A performance model is presented for an optical packet switch architecture in which the wavelength converters are shared per output link and each output link consists of multiple ...

— We study the problem of determining the minimum number of limited range wavelength converters needed to construct strictly, wide-sense, and rearrangeably nonblocking optical cr...
Abstract— Wavelength converters simplify the wavelength assignment problem in virtual topology design in optical networks and increase the utilization of the fiber bandwidth. Ho...
—The prospects of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) as a cost-effective switching paradigm for future all-optical transport networks would greatly benefit from minimizing the number ...
— In this paper, we present the architectural design of optical burst-buffers that can truly emulate input queuing and accommodate asynchronous burst operation. The architectural...
