Of course.

And, it's doable even with packet buffers with realistic size and
packet loss possibility.

Otherwise, parallel datapath requires so much money and power that
those for routing table is negligible from the beginning.

That's fine. The point is to switch all the wave lengths at once,
just like EDFAs amplify all the wave lengths at once.

It's merely 1.25 times faster than my example that it is no
solution.

The problem is merely that you don't know the capability of
combined photonic/electric circuit.
