optical packe t switching with optical buffering and optical switch fabrics does not
appear to provide any dramatic power savings when compared with electronic
packet switching. If there is no significant difference in power dissipation, other
factors such as cost, physical realizability, and footprint will decide. Given the

lack of a clear power consumption advantage in optical packet switching, it would
appear that electronics will remai ...
