AbstractRecently, in the present day’s data center systems an explosive growth has been observed in data traffic, which restricts the speed of exiting data communication network. To solve such problem, fiber optical-based optical communication system is preferred choice. In this paper, an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG)-based optical packet switch is presented in which priority among packets is implemented effectively. This switch is a recirculating loop buffer-based switch in which a hybrid buffering (optical + electrical) technique is used for storing packets into the buffer. The power budget analysis of switch is presented in various conditions, when packet passes through the optical or electronic buffers. Comparison of optical and electronic buffering is done in terms of power required for the correct operation of the switch. In this paper, a comparison is performed between our proposed switch with recently published switch designs. The result presented in this paper clearly reveals that the performance of our proposed switch is far better than other previously published switch architecture. The major beauty of our proposed switch is that in this design priority among packets implemented effectively.

AbstractThis paper focuses on performances of limited range wavelength converters (LRWCs) in resolving optical packet contentions. An optical packet switch is proposed, which uses recirculation LRWC groups and recirculation fiber delay lines (FDLs) to resolve optical packet contentions. In order to make full use of the LRWCs and the FDLs, a control algorithm is also proposed. Packet loss probability of the proposed switch versus the number of FDLs, the wavelength conversion range, and the number of LRWC groups are evaluated in detail.
