This project is designed to investigate new dynamically switched optical networking architectures using dynamic optical network technologies that leverage photonic integrated circuits (PICs). These technologies have the potential to impact Future Internet architecture by offering a dynamic, reconfigurable, high-bandwidth networking medium not available in today's Internet. There is great benefit to move network infrastructures like GENI and Future Internet to dynamic optical switching technologies that provide better scaling, lower power and smaller footprint. Virtualization of optical transport network characteristics, like topology and bandwidth, are examples of new capabilities possible with DOCS technology. The expected outcome of this project will be new integrated optical technologies and networking algorithms and architectures that support low cost, dynamic optical circuit switching for future generation networks that rely on virtualization of bandwidth and connectivity. The potential impact of this work will be to overcome current technology and economic mismatches between local data networks and long distance data networks, realizing a network infrastructure that can support many simultaneous multi-gigabit experiments at low cost.

该项目旨在利用利用光子集成电路（PIC）的动态光网络技术来研究新的动态交换光网络架构。这些技术有可能通过提供当今互联网所不具备的动态、可重新配置、高带宽网络介质来影响未来的互联网架构。将 GENI 和 Future Internet 等网络基础设施迁移到动态光交换技术可以带来巨大的好处，这些技术可以提供更好的扩展性、更低的功耗和更小的占地面积。光传输网络特性（如拓扑和带宽）的虚拟化是 DOCS 技术可能实现的新功能的示例。该项目的预期成果将是新的集成光学技术以及网络算法和架构，支持依赖带宽和连接虚拟化的下一代网络的低成本、动态光电路交换。这项工作的潜在影响将是克服本地数据网络和长途数据网络之间当前技术和经济上的不匹配，实现能够以低成本支持许多同时进行的多千兆位实验的网络基础设施。
