Abstract
We examine the packet loss performance of scalable all-optical routers exploiting fiber delay lines, under non-uniform and bursty data center traffic conditions. Our analysis reveals that a load balancing stage, capable of evenly distributing the incoming traffic in both space and time, is indispensable in wavelength-routing data centers with a distributed-buffer architecture.
