We also developed an efficient dynamic network control algorithm that complies with a restriction on the number of intra-node fibers used for subsystem interconnection. Numerical evaluations verify that the proposed architecture offers almost the same performance as the equivalent single large-scale cross-connect switch, while enabling substantial hardware scale reductions.}, pages = {478--487}, title = {A large-scale photonic node architecture that utilizes interconnected OXC subsystems}, volume = {21}, year = {2013} }
