Abstract
Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN). In the design of an
optical-packet-switching network, several policy decisions must be made and network
parameters must be dimensioned. These decisions determine the network operation and
performance. We present an overview of the design alternatives for
optical-packet-interconnection network architectures. The issues that are discussed
include contention resolution schemes, header processing, and quality-of-service
support. The design of metropolitan-area packet-switched networks is also presented
in a separate section.
