Implementation Concerns - 1
Requirements of optical switching device
- Fast switching-over time (~nanoseconds)
- Low-loss and negligible polarization effects
- Wavelength independence, simple to manufacture, etc.
Implementation overhead
- Real-time switching control
- fast and accurate timing control of Burst Packets
- Maintain reservation status of data burst
Possibility of Implementation
- Expect development on fast and controllable optical switch devices
- Require intelligent control plane, ex) GMPLS
- Provide QoS guarantee per data burst and improve network utilization
