Abstract

Queueing theory is generally known as the theory to study the performance of queues. In this extended abstract, we are interested in another aspect of queueing theory, the theory to construct queues. Our interest in constructing queues originates from optical packet switching. Traditionally, queues are relatively cheap to build via electronic memory. However, it is very costly to convert optical packets into electronic packets. As such, building optical queues with minimum complexity has become an important research topic.
