Optical burst switching a viable solution for terabit IP backbone.

Optical burst switching a viable solution for terabit IP backbone.

Wavelength-division multiplexing has emerged as an important physical layer technology. Optical transmission provides a physical layer capable of carrying bits at the speed at the order of a gigabit per second. Optical burst switching is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional WDM depl...
