Abstract :
A novel multicast mode, which is called serial multicast mode (SMM), is proposed in this letter. It can realize the storage, duplication, and serial export of the input optical multicast packet in all-optical networks. Moreover, performance analyses of SMM compared with parallel multicast mode are also provided in this letter
