Methods and Components for Optical Contention Resolution in High Speed Networks

Abstract

During the third quarter of the CORD project progress was made in the area of design and development of the various subunits of the system. Test and evaluation of the functional blocks built during the past quarter was the focus of the system group at Stanford University and the optoelectronics group at GTE Laboratories. Detailed Performance estimates were made with respect to signaling and its interference with the information channel. Progress was also made in the construction of the CRO module with detailed evaluation of the WDM components to be used and completion of the development of the high speed header detector module. Development of the logic control for CORD's contention resolution strategy was pursued further. Moreover, a 'Multi-Packet' CORD architecture was developed and shown that it can substantially reduce the packet loss probability. Logic control design was then provided also for this improved version of the CORD. Optical networks, WDM Technology, Contention resolution, Optical switching.
