An overview of the characteristics and challenges of optical packet switching is given, illustrating its potential advantages within future nodes and networks, describing basic system functionalities. The opportunities introduced by the ACTS KEOPS project on all-optical packet-switching networks are highlighted, based partially on the outcome of the RACE ATMOS project, which is also considered in this article
