Abstract
This letter analyzes an all-optical packet switch based on fiber loop buffer memory (FLBM). The number of recirculations of a packet in the fiber loop is limited by noise constraints whereas the total number of packets stored in the fiber loop is constrained by the number of available wavelengths. The switch operates as an output-queued switch with these constraints. We analyze this switch for its blocking performance for incoming packets.
