Pros and cons • Sonet/SDH • High reliability (protection to failures) • Most of current networks are based on SDH (necessity to get revenues) • Currently under the 3G phase with reconfiguration capability • Developed to transport voice through point-to-point circuit • Expensive • Ethernet • Cheap and easy solution • No support for QoS • RPR • Support QoS • High reliability
Pros and cons • All of them require OEO conversion at each node!!! • And hence the electronic part limits the maximum network capacity • Necessity to migrate from just transmitting high-capacity optical signals to effectively switching and managing data in optical domain

Optical packet switching Main concepts • OPS generally1 • Lower power consumption than in electronic switches • Lower cost • Easy IP over WDM integration • High throughput, efficiency, flexibility • Finest granularity 1 L. Dittman et al., “The European IST Project DAVID: a viable approach towards Optical Packet Switching”, IEEE JSAC, vol. 21, no. 7, Sep. 2003
Optical packet switching Technology challenges • OPS are now widely accepted • Several prototypes and trial-fields • More than 100 papers during the last leading international conferences (i.e., ECOC and OFC) • Optic is still in its infancy2 • No optical RAMs, (where needed) replaced by Fibre Delay Lines (FDLs) 2 T.S. El-Bawab et al., “Optical packet switching in core networks: between vision and reality”, IEEE Commun. Mag., vol. 40, no. 9, Sep. 2002
Optical packet switching Technology challenges • Need new optical devices3 • Fast switching matrixes (order of ns) • 3R regenerators • Tunable wavelength converters • Optical aggregators, etc. • Optical header processing4 • No optical bit-level processing 3 D.

OPS-based metro networks Open issues … • Topology • Ring, star, bus, etc. • Architecture • Node, hub, type of transceivers, control and data plane, slotted vs. variable packets, etc. • MAC protocol • Empty slot, request/grant, carrier sense, etc. • QoS provisioning • Classes to be defined, mechanisms to provide them, etc.
OPS-based metro networks … and accepted assumptions • The network must be optically buffer-less • General behaviour • Nodes use electronic buffer to store the packets coming from the access networks • A MAC protocol arbitrates the access of nodes to the shared resources, regulating both time and wavelength dimension • Once a packet is transmitted, the entire source-destination path is buffer-less • Only the control information is electrically converted to be processed
