Design and Simulation of Routing—switching Protocol Based on Optical Switch Array

摘要

An optical routing—switching technology based on optical switch array is proposed. The characteristics of the blocking and nonblocking networks are analyzed and compared, odd — even sorting network is used to realize optical routing — switching, relative routing — switching protocol is designed. Simulation test under load shows that it can reduce a blocking effectively and enhance an efficiency of switching. Further.it can transfer the processing and switching within parallel computer from electric domain to optical domain. It can make parallel computer coordinating computing and processing at much more higher speed, storing and transmitting even more efficiently.
