Introduction
Internet traffic has doubled per year New services like VOD, IPTV DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is developed
Can transport tens to hundreds of wavelengths per fiber
Goal?
All optical!

O/E/O (slow)
No Easy
Yes Hard
Important parameters
Switching time ( ) Insertion loss ( and loss uniformity at all input-output connections) Crosstalk ( ) Extinction ratio (ratio of ON-OFF power) ( ) Polarization-dependent loss ( ) Reliability, energy usage, scalability, temperature resistance
Blocking Characteristics
Blocking vs. non-blocking
Deflection routing
Only one packet desired link, others longer links There can be the looping of packets

Switch the channels entirely in the optical domain using electronic tech. Process
Assemble the packets (have same destination) -> make bursts at the edge Bursts are assigned to wavelength channels Switched through transparently without any conversion Disassemble into the original packets

How is it possible?
reservation request (control packet) Using offset-time

Extends common control plane to support various interfaces. GMPLS can support
Packet switching Time-division (SONET/SDH) + MP S (wavelength switching) + Spatial-switching (OXC)
Conclusion
Optical fiber is not fully exploited
Switching functions must be executed optically
Two obstacles
