AbstractA hybrid electro-optic router is attractive, where packet buffering and table lookup are carried out in electrical domain and switching is done optically. In this paper, we propose a loadbalanced optical switch (LBOS) fabric for a hybrid router. LBOS comprises N linecards connected by an N-wavelength WDM fiber ring. Each linecard i is configured to receive on channel λ i. To send a packet, it can select and transmit on an idle channel based on where the packet goes. The packet remains in the optical domain all the way from an input linecard/port to an output linecard/port. Meanwhile, the loading in the ring network is perfectly balanced by spreading the packets for different destinations to use different wavelengths, and packets for the same destination to use different time slots. With the pipelined operation of the LBOS, we show that LBOS is an optical counterpart of an efficient load-balanced electronic switch, and close-to-100% throughput can be obtained. To address the ringfairness problem under the inadmissible traffic patterns, an efficient throughput-fair scheduler for LBOS is also devised. ©2010 IEEE.
