Overview:

How are future communication networks to cope with ever-increasing traffic demands? Currently, data (e.g. IP packets) handled in the back-bone network is transported optically, yet is switched electronically. Being a demanding and power-consuming process, current switches are becoming the bottleneck in the network. More recent techniques, such as Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS), can alleviate this problem. In the research community's search for effective architectures, understanding the functioning of optical buffers is crucial.
