This article gives an overview of trends in optical networking technologies. Today (D) WDM is able to offer large Bandwidth Interconnections and to date is mainly deployed on a Point-to-Point basis. To add more networking functionalities to the Optical layer, three classes of operation methods are presented and evaluated: Circuit Switching, Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS).
