Abstract
We propose a configuration for a packet switched wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) network including a simple wavelength assignment scheme for data packets. Combined with the use of the wavelength dimension for contention resolution, this reduces the need for optical buffers and when more than 11 WDM channels are used for transmitting data in the optical domain the buffers can be avoided.
