Abstract
We consider optical switching architectures that allow for scaling to a large number of ports. We show that the complexity of the node control critically depends on the node architecture and impacts the end-to-end latency of the system. We introduce, node architectures with highly distributed control that allow for systems that introduce very low end-to-end latency.
