Abstract

In this paper, an all-optical regenerator based, photonic packet switch architecture, which consists of the fiber loop for the storage of the contending packets, is considered. In the loop buffer, the available buffer space may not be fully utilized due to the limited re-circulation count of the data placed on buffer. This limit can be counteracted by placing a pool of regenerators inside the buffer. As optical regenerators are costly devices, hence they should be placed optimally in the buffer. The simulations results are presented by consider Prioritized and non – prioritized traffic. It is shown in the results that regeneration of data is essential if prioritized traffic has to be considered.
