Design of a hybrid switching architecture for avionic WDM platforms
A novel hybrid switching architecture using optical circuit switching for intra-subnet communication and fiber channel (FC) for inter-subnet communication is proposed. The proposed scheme utilizes small-size arrayed waveguide grating routers (AWGRs) and legacy FC switches to construct the large-scale avionic network, thus has the potential of the lower latency, the satisfactory network bandwidth and the lower power consumption. The simulation results verify that the proposed architecture outperforms FC switched architecture in terms of real time performance and power consumption.
