Abstract :
All-optical Internet may one day come true, due to the explosive bandwidth requirement, and advances of enabling optical communication techniques. And exactly NOW we are at the turning point. We study one possible optical packet switching technique-optical burst switching. We present the overall network protocol, enabling techniques, architectures, switching cores and performance evaluations
