Abstract: A node is configured for deployment in an optical network. The node includes an analog switch for routing an optical packet between input ports and output ports. The node also includes digital processing circuitry configured to generate first configuration information based on the optical packet prior to providing the optical packet to the analog switch. The analog switch is configured to route the optical packet between the input ports and the output ports based on the first configuration information in response to the optical packet arriving at the node in a first time interval. The optical packet is not processed by the digital processing circuit or results of processing are not used to configure the analog switch during a second time interval. The analog switch routes the optical packet between the input and output ports based on second configuration information during the second time interval.
