Abstract :
Scalable hardware, architectures are required for optical burst switched (OBS) networks where future fibers may be handling 4Tbps or more. Issues investigated include centralized vs. distributed architectures, sealing issues related to performance, and the hardware impact of just-in-time (JIT) vs. just-enough-time (JET) signaling
