Abstract
Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN). A performance
analysis of an optically interconnected packet-scheduling switch network is
presented. The scheduling switch uses a branch of feed-forward delays for each input
port, interconnected with elementary optical switches to resolve contention. The
scheduling switch is guaranteed to be lossless under a certain smoothness property
condition. We investigate the packet-loss performance of the switch when the
smoothness property condition does not hold, as well as the packet delay impairments
at the edge of a scheduling switch interconnected network when this property is
enforced.
