Abstract

We have proposed the concept of an optical packet and circuit integrated network to provide service diversity, energy efficiency and a simplified control mechanism toward new generation networks. In this integrated network, optical data packets and data on lightpaths are transmitted on common physical resources for efficient resource use. In addition, path signaling for lightpath setup and release thorough optical packet switch block is implemented. We set up a primitive optical packet and circuit integrated network including one switching node and a set of packet/path transceiver. We demonstrate 80 (8λ × 10) Gbit/s colored optical packet switching and 8-lightpaths establishment by transferring optical control packets over the optical packet switching.
