Abstract :
Three signaling schemes are analyzed for their potential implementation in a high-speed multi-switch all-optical network. This investigation is of interest because important characteristics of all-optical high-speed networks were not considered in the design of signaling protocols currently implemented in today´s networks. Equations for throughput and delay are derived for the three schemes and comparisons are performed. Results obtained identify the signaling scheme to be implemented on an all-optical networking testbed
