Abstract

Contention resolution of optical signals in time and space domain plays crucial role in optical communication. To facilitate the sizing of large-scale all-optical packet switches using optics (larger than 1Tb/s), we have created a Non-synchronized Optical Switch Simulator (NSOSS). The realized simulator follows the behaviour of a multi-port/multi-wavelength DWDM switching module, where the contention resolution problem is solved with buffers made from fiber delay lines (FDLs). With the help of the simulator researchers can receive performance measurement results of investigated buffering solutions, various buffering strategies and contention resolution architectures. This paper gives in depth description about the developed model structure of the simulator and its simulation performance.
