Abstract :
A hybrid optoelectronic router which optimally utilizes both optical and electrical technologies is promising for reducing power, size, and latency, with the ability to process arbitrary-length ultrafast asynchronous optical packets and support flexible, IP-related services (QoS, TTL, multicast routing, etc.).
