  • Abstract
    In this paper, a multi-hop routing through a 4-node data vortex switching fabric of WDM 10 Gbit/sec packets is demonstrated. The header bits are encoded in a WDM bit-parallel fashion where every bit occupies a separate wavelength. This arrangement significantly simplifies the routing and reduces the overall latency.
