Optical packet switching in core networks between vision andreality.

Optical packet switching in core networks between vision andreality.

The research on optical packet switching (OPS) has witnessed considerable progress in the 1990s. We examine the future potential of OPS in the core network by discussing this switching approach and the current status of a number of its enabling technologies. Many of these technologies are still in t...
