• Abstract : A photonic internet protocol (IP) routing is proposed in which the IP ddress, mapped onto an optical code, is recognized by performing optical correlation in the time domain in a parallel manner. Preliminary experiment shows that it can process 6.5 �~ 109 packets per second. It will help overcome the bottleneck in current electrical IP routers ; i.e., the time it takes to look up addresses in the routing table.
• Key words : Internet, optical communication, optical code, optical correlation, parallel processing, routing
