Abstract
An optical routing scheme in which an optical network having a mesh topology is configured to route optical packets through an optical routing layout superimposable with the mesh topology, but having a star-like topology. Using this routing layout, the optical network can be configured to transport optical packets from respective ingress nodes, through the hub node located at the star center, to respective egress nodes in a manner that enables a data throughput that approaches the theoretical capacity. No special hardware is required for implementing the hub functionality, and any node of the optical network can be configured to serve as the hub node. The latter feature enables relatively straightforward optimization of the optical routing layout and transmission schedule, e.g., by changing the identity of the hub node and adjusting the transmission schedule at the ingress nodes to synchronize packet arrivals to the hub node.
