heal.abstract	The e-Photon/ONe Network of Excellence (NoE) brings together a significant slection of the European research groups that are active on photonic networking research topics. In this framework optical switching is seen as an important research topic and new approaches and concepts are emerging. In this work two such concepts are illustrated. The first is viewing a transparent optical network as a single entity, where transmission and switching are not treated as separate blocks consisting of non-interacting entities: optical switching not only routes wavelengths from incoming fibers to outgoing fibers, but also ensures robust transmission. The second is a proposed variation to an optical packet crossconnect that alleviates technological constraints of tunable wavelength converters, and expands in a new direction legacy design rules of multi-stage crossconnect switches. © 2005 IEEE.	en
