Abstract
A system and method for a cell switching optical network. A block of data is buffered at an edge node and sliced into data slices. Slice headers are pre-appended to each data slice. The data slices are then scheduled for transmission onto an optical switching network during fixed time slots defined on a per carrier wavelength basis.
