Layered switch architectures for high-capacity optical transport networks.

Layered switch architectures for high-capacity optical transport networks.

We propose and analyze layered switch architectures that possess high design flexibility, greatly reduced switch size, and high expandability. The improvement in loss and crosstalk due to the reduced switch size is also discussed. Theoretical models have been developed to compute the network blockin...
