Abstract :
Algorithms for service differentiation in a multi-fiber optical packet switch with shared wavelength converters are presented. Multi-fiber scheme shows its effectiveness in a cost saving perspective by limiting the number of wavelength converters employed and their bandwidth. Threshold based mechanisms are applied both to the wavelengths and converters pool and the output interfaces. Different design choices are evaluated by simulation.
