Packet over Wavelengths 
 
Packet over Wavelengths (POW) is a project that examines architectures for optical packet routing using protocols for the dynamic allocation of Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) paths. As part of this project, we have developed a protocol called the Simple Wavelength Assignment Protocol (SWAP) which enables the establishment of WDM paths. We are currently enhancing SWAP and evaluating its behavior under different traffic conditions.
