Abstract :
This paper explains an optical buffer called lookahead forward shift buffer and its application to an optical packet switch. The switch supports variable length packets, and achieves performance similar to electronic virtual output queued switching, using four packets´s worth of variable-speed shift-forward delay for a 1 Gbps/port, 32×32 switch.
