The objective of this research is to develop a novel router architecture that can cost effectively support a large number of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channels while meeting the needs of a diverse set of applications. The approach is to design an integrated multi-mode switching router platform that can concurrently support electronic packet switching, optical circuit switching, and optical burst switching. With this multi-mode switching approach, each wavelength channel can be individually reconfigured to a different switching mode. Each application or each type of message within an application can choose the most appropriate switching mode.With respect to intellectual merit, the project provides an approach for cost effective scaling of router systems by maintaining a relatively small number of expensive electronic switching ports. The evaluation of the interplay among different switching modes within the multi-mode switching router node provides insights into performance and cost tradeoffs. The development of integrated multi-mode scheduling schemes provides a unified approach to manage system resources shared among different switching modes.With respect to broader impacts, the proposed approach has the potential to facilitate a variety of heterogeneous networked applications, including telemedicine and telesurgery which are explicitly considered in this research. Telemedicine and telesurgery allow medical experts and resources to be shared remotely and offer the opportunity to change the how quality medical services can be delivered. This project and its related network test bed provide training opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students, especially women and students from other underrepresented groups. High school students work on related projects in the principal investigator's research laboratory and this has the potential to attract these students to engineering.

本研究的目的是开发一种新的路由器架构，可以有效地支持大量的密集波分复用（DWDM）通道，同时满足不同的应用程序的需求。 该方法是设计一个集成的多模交换路由器平台，可以同时支持电子分组交换，光电路交换，光突发交换。 利用这种多模切换方法，每个波长信道可以被单独地重新配置为不同的切换模式。 每个应用程序或应用程序中的每种类型的消息可以选择最合适的交换模式。就知识价值而言，该项目提供了一种方法，通过保持相对少量的昂贵的电子交换端口，以成本效益的方式扩展路由器系统。 多模交换路由器节点内不同交换模式之间的相互作用的评估提供了对性能和成本权衡的见解。 综合多模式调度方案的发展提供了一个统一的方法来管理系统资源之间共享不同的切换modes.With更广泛的影响，所提出的方法有可能促进各种异构网络应用，包括远程医疗和外科手术，这是明确考虑在这项研究中。 远程医疗和远程外科手术允许远程共享医疗专家和资源，并提供了改变提供优质医疗服务方式的机会。 该项目及其相关的网络试验平台为研究生和本科生，特别是妇女和其他代表性不足群体的学生提供了培训机会。 高中生在首席研究员的研究实验室从事相关项目，这有可能吸引这些学生从事工程学。
