The present invention optically marks and detects packet headers translating , at most only the headers (24) to electronics for making packet switching decisions, and keeps the rest of the packets in optical delay lines (23) so , that optical switches (29) can execute the packet switching decisions (28) at fast bit rates. This solution has very high scalability and becomes even more efficient when physical addresses are used. Another optimisation described in this invention is improving routing efficiency and bandwidth utilization by grouping together identical data packets from the same source going to the same general area with a multiple list of targets connected to each copy of …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 8, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 8, 2021.
