Optical switching: switch fabrics, techniques, and architectures (2003, background): “Optical buffers are either single-stage or multistage, where the term stage represents one or more parallel continuous piece of delay line [16].”
Burst segmentation: an approach for reducing packet loss in optical burst switched networks (2002, background): “packet switching; however, it is difficult to give QoS assurances (best effort service), and packets can have variable delays [ 5 ].”
Optical Packet and Burst Switching Technologies for the Future Photonic Internet (2006, background): “On the other hand, a number of recent works [7], [9], [65], [150]–[155] indicated the utility of wavelength conversion and [9], [11], [65], [155], [156] utilized pipelined wavelength-, time-, and space-domain contention resolution to avoid buffering each packet as in the store-and-forward method, re”
