Abstract :
We review different solutions for realizing large-port-count optical crossconnects (OXCs) for data centers and examine the impact of switch reconfiguration time on the throughput performance of these switches. In addition, we highlight the recent research progress on the wavelength-assisted routing technique for constructing large port-count OXCs.
