Abstract
The paper discusses recent progress in optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS). Main factors influencing node design are considered, before focusing on wavelength router designs for OPS. Performance and complexity of OPS and OBS node designs are compared, with the aim of identifying prerequisites for, and viable paths towards, statistically multiplexed optical networks.
