An algorithm for loopless deflection in photonic packet-switched networks

We present a label-based approach for implementing deflection in a photonic packet network, and we introduce an algorithm for determining deflection options in a manner which eliminates looping. A general analytical model is developed to evaluate packet loss probabilities in networks with deflection. The analysis may be applied to a wide class of deflection schemes and may be applied to networks with any arbitrary topology. The analysis is verified through simulation.
