Abstract
In view of the evolution of future networks towards B-ISDN, which calls for high transport capacities, the combined use of wavelength routing, optical buffering, and wavelength multiplexing for advanced ATM switching nodes has been proposed1 as a way to overcome the bottlenecks of existing electronic technologies by exploiting photonics. On the basis of that approach, experimentation has begun in the framework of the RACE 2039 EEC project. This experimentation is aimed at the implementation of a demonstrative packet-switching subsystem that is based on a multiwavelength optical-fiber-loop memory.
