Abstract
This paper reports the first demonstration of a multi-terabit IP optical router. A sub-equipped rack-mounted prototype has been designed and assembled, demonstrating all key functions of large, scalable packet router. The design exploits burst switching techniques through to an integrated optical packet switching fabric.
