Adaptive Control in Optical Burst-Switching Networks With QoS Support
White Paper An adaptive control scheme is proposed for the transmission of packets burst in an all-optical Burst Switching network. Two levels of control have been considered: one at the triggering level for a wavelength request, and the other at the burst... [18 Jul 2008]
Latency in Grid Over Optical Burst Switching With Heterogeneous Traffic
White Paper Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as the next generation optical network for grid computing. This paper envisions a heterogeneous Grid served by an Optical Burst Switching framework, where grid traffic co-exists with IP and/or a 10 GE... [18 Jul 2008]
On the Capacity of Optical Networks: A Framework for Comparing Different Transport Architectures
White Paper This paper compares three optical transport network architectures: Optical Packet Switching (OPS), Optical Flow Switching (OFS), and Optical Burst Switching (OBS). This comparison is based on a notion of network capacity as the set of exogenous... [18 Jul 2008]
Optical Switching: Switch Fabrics, Techniques, and Architectures
White Paper Optical burst switching attempts to minimize the need for processing and buffering by aggregating flows of data packets into bursts. The switching speeds of electronics cannot keep up with the transmission capacity offered by optics. [18 Jul 2008]
