Abstract

Summary form only given. Photonic switching systems with common switching fabric combined with efficient wavelength and waveband-grooming algorithms can reduce the total number of switch ports by at least an order of magnitude at network junction nodes. Port savings can exceed by one and a half order of magnitude for transit traffic. Client systems with standards compliant sources and wavelength multiplexers can further increase post savings on PSS. Photonic switching systems with 1000 ports can satisfy bandwidth management requirements at most of the nodes. Benefits of multi-granular photonic switching include reduction in management complexity, capital, and operational expenditures.
