A bandwidth-efficient and low-latency packet assembly strategy for optical burst switching in metro ring

A multiflow assembly strategy is presented that creates data bursts, transmitted all-optically over the WDM LightRing. Both high bandwidth-efficiency and low packet-latency are obtained by uniquely combining spatial reuse and assembly of multiflow packets.
