Abstract
In the 10-year horizon, all-optical core and edge networks may take evolutionary or revolutionary paths towards higher capacity, reconfigurability, and flexibility. These future scenarios include packet and burst switching. This tutorial will explore some of the key approaches and technical challenges that are being pursued to herald in future optical networks.Full-text article is not available.
