Abstract
A detailed traffic analysis of optical packet switch designis performed. Special consideration is given to the complexityof the optical buffering and the overall switch block structureis considered in general. Wavelength converters are shown toimprove the traffic performance of the switch blocks for bothrandom and bursty traffic. Furthermore, the traffic performanceof switch blocks with add--drop sports has been assessed in aShufflenetwork showing the advantage of having converters at...Keywords
