Performance Evaluation of Two-Stage Shared FDL Optical Packet Switch using Contention Resolution Scheme with Packet Releasing Priority

This paper proposes a two-stage optical packet switch with second stage of recirculate switch of FDL to reduce the number of the FDL used in the switch for contention resolution. The contention resolution scheme with priority in packet releasing from FDL is tested in the two-stage switch for performance evaluation. Simulation result shows that zero packet loss rate achievable with {\i}< 0.8 for 32x 32 two-stage switch.
