Abstract

The 'Staggering Switch' is an 'almost-all' optical packet switch architecture that is based on two rear-rangeably non-blocking stages interconnected by optical delay lines with different amount of delay. In this paper, we study the performance of some extensions to this basic architecture. In particular, we investigate the packet loss probability of the switch for bursty traffic and propose a hardware modification that will allow to overcome the performance penalty of the time-correlation. Further, we discuss the switch growability patterns and extension to the WDM case. Finally, we show a scheme that will allow optical packet synchronization for the synchronously-operated switch.
