Abstract
In this paper, a novel optical packet switch is proposed, which uses limited wavelength converters and recirculation fiber delay lines to resolve optical packet contentions. A control algorithm is proposed to schedule the optical packets. Performance of the proposed switch is evaluated by means of simulation experiments. Packet loss rate and mean delay time of the proposed switch are analyzed in detailed.
