We investigate a high speed protocol called Just-Enough-Time (JET) based on a tell-and-go
(TAG) protocol. It is suitable for bursty traffic where the duration of each burst is neither long …

This paper consists of a categorization of optical buffering strategies for optical packet
switches, and a comparison of the performance of these strategies both with respect to …

We present Park, a platform for researchers to experiment with Reinforcement Learning (RL)
for computer systems. Using RL for improving the performance of systems has a lot of …

Recently, optical packet switch architectures, composed of devices such as optical switches,
fiber delay lines, and passive couplers, have been proposed to overcome the …

This paper analyzes the packet loss and delay performance of an arrayed-waveguide-
grating-based (AWG) optical packet switch developed within the EPSRC-funded project …

The performance of wavelength routed optical networks (WRON's) employing packet
switching critically depends on packet contentions at the intermediate nodes. This paper …

Discrete-time queues are infinite dimensional switches in time. Ever since Shannon
published his paper (" Memory requirements in a telephone exchange", Bell Syst. Tech. J …

All-optical packet switched networking is hampered by the problem of realizing viable
queues for optical packets. Packets can be buffered in delay lines, but delay lines do not …

In this paper, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the construction of 2-to-1
optical buffered first-in–first-out (FIFO) multiplexers by a single crossbar switch and fiber …

A novel all-optical buffer based on adjustable time delay line is proposed and
experimentally demonstrated. This physically compact buffer can be used in optical packet …
