Control Packets

In order to address poor bandwidth-utilization in circuit-switched WRONs, various techniques for optical packet-switching (OPS) have been explored, but needing complex technologies, such as real-time header extraction/insertion, packet alignment, etc. An intermediate solution between the WRONs and OPS networks – the optical burst-switched (OBS) network – has been explored, where several packets are clubbed together at ingress nodes to form optical bursts, which are transmitted with the headers sent as control packets ahead of each bursts. With this prior resource-reservation scheme at en-route nodes before burst arrivals, OBS networks overcome the challenges of OPS networks, while improving bandwidth utilization as compared to WRONs. We first present the node architectures, followed by header-processing schemes and switch designs for OPS networks. Next we present the basic concepts of OBS networking and describe the necessary network protocols, including burst assembly scheme, just enough time (JET) signaling, resource-reservation and routing schemes.

Cross Connect

In this chapter, the authors review several optical label processing techniques providing a comparison based on the potential for each technique to allow for implementation of a scalable and low latency optical packet switching cross-connect node. They present and demonstrate an optical packet switch sub-system employing in-band labeling to allow for transparent forwarding of multi-wavelength packets with multiple data formats at multiple data bit-rates. The optical packet switching sub-system employs a scalable, asynchronous, and low latency label processor. Experimental results are provided that confirm the operation of the label processor in optical packet switching system testbeds. Moreover, the authors discuss applications of the optical packet switching node based on optical label processor and the potential to allow the implementation of intelligent systems for optimal routing of the packets in the optical domain.

Packet Switch

Optical packet switching is connectionless networking solution through which we can get high speed data transfer and optimum bandwidth utilization using wavelength division multiplexing technique. For realizing optical packet switching the numbers of optical packet switch architectures are available in market. In this chapter the authors discuss the overall development of optical packet switching; some recently published optical packet switch architectures are discussed in the chapter and a comparison is performed between the switches through loss, cost and buffer analysis.
