Optical switching architecture with integrated circuit and packet switching capabilities is proposed based on programmable interconnection matrix to meet the flexibility requirements of future communication infrastructures. The proposed switch architecture is thought to be implemented using off-the-shelf components as a possible migration solution from electronic to optical technology in limited complexity and energy efficiency perspective. The solution adopts integrated hybrid multiplexing of guaranteed and best effort packets at the wavelength level. Comparison with longer term all-optical solutions are presented regarding complexity and power consumption to show how modular architectures are able to achieve cost and energy efficiency.

The solution adopts integrated hybrid multiplexing of guaranteed and best effort packets at the wavelength level. Comparison with longer term all-optical solutions are presented regarding complexity and power consumption to show how modular architectures are able to achieve cost and energy efficiency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
