Abstract
We describe a hybrid optoelectronic router for an asynchronous optical packet switched network. The router optimally utilizes both optical and electrical technologies to reduce power and latency while maintaining functionality to implement various services (multicast, QoS, etc.). A prototype router which handles 10-Gbit/s asynchronous optical packets is demonstrated.
