Abstract
We propose an efficient network architecture to implement optical fast circuit switching. To effectively manage dynamic path operations, we introduce a hierarchical structure consisting of physical network level and optical path level. Numerical experiments show that the proposed hierarchical network greatly reduces the necessary number of switch ports.
