Abstract :
An optical packet switch that shares wavelength converters for contention resolution is introduced. The sharing is partial and both limited and full range wavelength converters are used in the pool of converters shared in each Output Fiber. A parallel scheduling algorithm is defined to manage the optical packet forwarding and the wavelength converters. Performance are evaluated by means of an accurate analytical model validated through simulation.
