Abstract :
Photonic slot routing has been proposed as an approach to implement an all-optical packet-switched network in a manner which is scalable and not overly complex. Although photonic slot routing has been studied in bus and ring networks, it has not been applied to general mesh topologies until now. In this study, we investigate some of the issues involved in implementing photonic slot routing in a mesh network. In particular, we propose an approach for assigning slot destinations in a photonic slot routing network, and we evaluate the performance of the proposed technique
