Abstract :
An optoelectronic buffer consisting of optical interfaces and CMOS RAM is promising for future optical packet-switched routers, with its ability to process arbitrary-length ultrafast asynchronous optical packets and support flexible IP-related services (QoS, ToS, multicast routing, etc.).
