Abstract

In this paper, we study the benefits of using multiple fibers per link in optical packet‐switched networks. The node architecture is presented and various contention resolution schemes are evaluated. Comparisons are made between the multifiber switch with a small number of wavelengths per fiber and the traditional single‐fiber switch with a large number of wavelengths per fiber. The analytical and simulation results show that although the multifiber switch cannot easily perform as well as a switch with full wavelength conversion, compared to the traditional switch, it significantly reduces the number of wavelength converters and fiber delay lines while achieving a lower packet‐loss rate. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this paper, we propose a new contention‐resolution scheme for supporting time‐critical applications in multifiber optical packet‐switched networks. The main idea is to utilize redundant idle fibers in optical cables rather than the conventional optical‐fiber delay lines to transfer t

A new self-routing packet switching fabric architecture is presented, which avoids the use of electronic logic. This can be obtained by adopting a random routing procedure which can be simply implemented on available photonic devices. The results achieved for a 16 x 16 switching fabric demonstrate t
