Abstract
Many switching techniques, ranging from the well-known circuit- and packet-switching to new switching techniques proposed for optical (WDM) networks such as wavelength-routing and optical burst switching (OBS) will be described and compared in terms of their suitable applications and implementation technologies. This chapter’s emphasis will be on the unique characteristics of optical networks and issues related to optical switching techniques. In particular, we will discuss how OBS can be effective in building the next generation Optical Internet.
