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 …

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

Optical packet switching (OPS) has been proposed as a strong candidate for future metro
networks. This paper assesses the viability of an OPS-based ring architecture as proposed …

Packet-switched unidirectional and bidirectional ring wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) networks with destination stripping provide an increased capacity due to spatial …

The continuous increasing of the Internet traffic has brought serious concerns about capacity
exhaustion of the optical infrastructure in a medium term horizon. Taking into account the …

Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN) In the design of an optical-packet-
switching network, several policy decisions must be made and network parameters must be …

Single-hop wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) networks with a central passive star
coupler (PSC), as well as single-hop networks with a central arrayed-waveguide grating …

This paper presents the architecture of WONDER, an advanced ring-based WDM optical
packet network designed for high capacity metro environments. The network prototype is …

This paper presents the work carried out by the Optical Communications Group at
Politecnico di Torino in the framework of the RINGO project. The RINGO network is based on …

Packet-switched wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) ring networks have been
extensively studied as solutions to the increasing amount of traffic in metropolitan area …
