Abstract: | Packet contention is a major issue in an optical packet switching network. It is not a trivial task to resolve contention
due to lack of optical RAM technology. This article proposes a two-stage shared fiber delay line (FDL) optical packet switch
for contention resolution. In this article, shared FDLs are used to buffer optical packets, in which a pool of buffer memory
is shared among all switch output ports. Most of the existing optical buffering schemes are output-based which require a huge
number of FDLs as well as a larger switch size that incur extra implementation cost. However, a shared buffering approach
is considered in this article in order to reduce implementation cost. In this article, FDLs are implemented in two stages
using an extremely simple auxiliary switch. The proposed switch architecture leads to more efficient use of buffer space.
The superiority of the proposed switch architecture has been established by means of extensive simulations. The performance
of the proposed switch is investigated under bursty traffic. Simulation result shows that the proposed switch can achieve
satisfactory performance at the price of a reasonable amount of FDLs. Moreover, the significance of the proposed switch is
confirmed by simulation. |
