Abstract :
This paper compares scheduling algorithms for congestion resolution in optical burst and/or packet switching networks, focusing on the effectiveness of wavelength and time multiplexing. The aim is to show whether it may be more convenient to invest in wavelength conversion or in some form of buffering when designing all optical switching elements.
