Several of the high speed optical fibre Metropolitan Area Networks proposed in recent years are slotted networks using deflection routing [1]. Manhattan Street Network is amongst the simplest of these with an underlying Manhattan graph. We propose to place highways in the Manhattan street network. This significantly reduces the delay in the case where packets have to travel long distances. With the reduced delay, the network can better support multiple services like packetised voice in addition to data communication. © 1991 SPIE. All rights reserved.

The design of a high speed, broadband packet switch with two priority levels for application in integrated voice/data networks is presented. The packet switch can efficiently cope with 128 byte packets converging on it from eight 140 Mbit/s dynamic time division multiplexed fibre optic links. The packet switch throughput varies with the load and traffic composition, and the delay experienced by voice and data packets is within 300 μs and 3 ms, respectively. The design is implemented by task-sharing in a multi-processor configuration. The design of the packet switch, including its subsystems, is detailed here. © 1989.
