Abstract
An optical time-division packet switch architecture is
proposed in this paper. It is based on all optical packet
compression and decompression, hybrid electro-optical
header processing and optical packet reordering and
buffering. The packet compression and decompression
subsystem is based on novel compression by bitreordering
principle that makes it possible to build efficient
shared systems. The hybrid electro-optical packet header
processor is able to process compressed packets at the
original packet speed. The core of the switching system
is packet reordering unit that performs the actual
switching operation. All buffering is intergrated in the
reordering unit.
