Abstract

This paper points out the benefit and scope of circuit switching in the future optical Internet. Given the increasingly excessive energy consumption by IP-based Internet routers which may lead to a constraint on Internet growth, the profile of Internet traffic and the high utilization achievable by dense wavelength division multiplexing, a conclusion can be made that efficient design of telecommunications network will be based on increasing the role of circuit switching in the future Internet. © 2009 IEEE.
