We provide a comprehensive survey of packet-switched ring metro WDM networks. We first
review current standardization and testbed activities, then we provide a categorization of …

Optical fibre access to the user, the so-called Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH), is becoming a
mature concept and a reality in many regions of the globe, with more than 8 millions homes …

This paper presents Ring Optical Network (RingO), a wavelength-division-multiplexing
(WDM), ring-based, optical packet network suitable for a high-capacity metro environment …

This article considers all-optical WDM networks based on a slotted multichannel ring
topology, where nodes are equipped with one fixed-wavelength receiver and one …

This paper introduces an approach to solving the fundamental scalability problem of all-
optical packet switching wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) access networks. Current …

Both wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) networks with a ring architecture and WDM
networks with a star architecture have been extensively studied as solutions to the ever …

This paper investigates the challenges for develo** the current local area network (LAN)-
based Ethernet protocol into a technology for future network architectures that is capable of …

A novel distributed access protocol for a slotted wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM)
metro ring employing all-optical packet switching and supporting quality-of-service (QoS) …

We focus on input-buffered packet switches, which are traditionally controlled slot-by-slot
with heuristic approximations (such as iSLIP) of maximum weight or size matching …
