Abstract
An overview of the characteristics and challenges of optical packet sw itching is given, illustrating its potential advantages within future nodes and networks, describing basic system functionalities. The oppor tunities introduced by the ACTS KEOPS project on all-optical packet-sw itching networks are highlighted, based partially on the outcome of th e RACE ATMOS project, which is also-considered in this article .
