Methods and Systems for Optical Buffering

The present invention describes an optical buffer (100) for buffering optical signals. The optical buffer comprises a plurality of fibre delay lines (110) of different lengths and a controller (120) adapted for controlling the delay of packet in a packet stream. The controller (120) is adapted for delaying a packet by subsequently using different fibre delay lines (110) and for using, for the delay of each packet, each fibre delay line at most once. A method for optically buffering, a controller and computer 10 related aspects also are disclosed.
