Ultra-Low Latency Multiprotocol Optical Routers for the Next Generation Internet

Abstract

Research conducted under this program demonstrated the first all-optical label switching router, the first all-optical label swapping with negative penalty, the first edge-router for optical-label switching, the first cascaded operation of optical- label switching routers, and the first field trial of optical label-switching routers. The router exhibited the following performance: subnanosecond switching speed; contention resolution that achieved a packet loss rate below 0.5% at a load of 0.6; arbitration and contention resolution with ultra low 250 nsec latency; and label switching IP over WDM with a packet loss rate <0.1%.
