Abstract
The unique systems opportunities offered by, and the unique systems constraints imposed by, lightwave technology as it applies to the field of distributed packet networks are examined. Single-channel and star topology approaches are first considered. Terabit-capacity lightwave networks are discussed, covering both wavelength-division and time-division multiplexing. Multichannel multihop lightwave networks are then considered, and a particular implementation, the ShuffleNet, is described, and its performance, as well as some simple addressing and routing schemes, is discussed.Keywords
