Abstract

A hybrid buffer structured optical packet switch and its scheduling algorithm are presented for a limited number of tunable wavelength convertors (TWCs) and internal wavelengths. The hybrid buffer consists of the fiber delay line (FDL) buffer and the electronic buffer. With the proposed algorithm, it could lead realizable packet loss reduction that the LAUC-VF algorithm with only the FDL buffer does not reach. Also, we optimized the number of TWCs and internal wavelengths of the hybrid buffer structured OPS. For the fully shared TWC structure, the optimum number of TWCs and internal wavelengths to guarantee minimum packet loss is evaluated to prevent resource waste under the hybrid buffer.
