Abstract :
A survey of optical switching technologies being candidates for an optical packet switched (OPS) network is presented. Switching time range for optical switching fabrics is found through analysis. In light of this, and based on reported switch devices, switching technologies are identified as candidates for OPS. Their suitability from a network perspective is then discussed.
