  • Abstract
    In this letter we focus on the construction of optical buffers exploiting a static priority scheduling policy. Optical Switches and fiber Delay Lines (SDLs) are used to build the proposed multiple input/output ports Optical Priority Multiplexers and Priority Switching Nodes, used for contention-resolution in Optical Packet Switched networks.
