Synopsis: Present-day networks are being challenge d by dramatic increases in data rate demands of emerging applications. A n ew network architecture\, incorporating “optical flow switching”\, wil l enable significant rate growth\, power-efficiency and cost-effective sca lability of next-generation networks. We will explore architecture concept s germinated 22 years ago\, technology and testbed demonstrations performe d in the last 17 years and the recent architecture construct from the Phys ical Layer to the Transport Layer of an implementable optical flow switchi ng network that is scalable and manageable.
