A method includes obtaining a first packet, where the first packet has a length and comparing the length of the first packet to a length threshold. The method also includes when the length of the first packet is greater than or equal to the length threshold, placing the first packet in a long packet container and transmitting the long packet container to a first photonic switch and when the length of the first packet is less than the length threshold, placing the first packet in a first short packet container and transmitting the first short packet container to a second photonic switch.

The present invention discloses a method for controlling silicon optical cross connection, which includes that: a first port group is connected to a first device group, a second port group is connected to a second device group, and the first port group and the second port group are connected through a silicon optical crossing matrix. When devices in the first device group need to be optically connected to the devices in the second device group, transceiving ports in the first port group connected to the devices in the first device group are connected, through the silicon optical crossing matrix, to the transceiving ports in the second port group connected to the devices in the second device group. The present invention also discloses an apparatus for controlling silicon optical cross connection.

摘要:
An optical packet processor includes one or more optical packet inputs that receive asynchronous optical packets. An optical packet interconnect directs the optical packets from the different optical packet inputs to different optical packet outputs. The optical packets are buffered either before or after being directed from the inputs to the different outputs. Problems associated with optical buffering are overcome by synchronizing the asynchronous optical packets with the optical packet buffers. The novel optical buffer architectures described also reduce or eliminate the use of certain high cost optical components.

摘要:
The invention relates to a technique for switching an optical data stream via an optical network node, capable of switching optical data received at input ports to output ports. The technique includes a collision management step which, upon detection (900), by a given input port, of a stream at a given wavelength, includes the following steps, the stream to be processed by a processing chain: determining (910) a resource of the node on the basis of a predetermined routing policy such that, for the given wavelength common to source and destination nodes of the stream, routing within the network is carried out according to a routing tree covering the network, a root of said tree being the destination node; consulting an occupancy table for said resource, indicating if at least one possible preceding stream is using said resource; determining (920) a delay to be applied by the processing chain in order to prevent a collision between the stream and possible preceding stream(s); and configuring (930) the line to the delay of the processing chain such that the line applies the delay.
