Abstract :
We demonstrate simultaneous multiplexing/demultiplexing operation of a 2x2 all-optical packet switch loaded with a random iMix stream of asynchronous variable-length 40Gbps optically-labelled packets. Layer-2 performance shows ≫ 95% optical label and ≫ 90% packet throughput for both ports.
