Performance of Optical Burst Switched WDM Ring Network with TTFR System

: In this paper, we propose an architecture of Optical Burst Switched WDM ring network. In our proposed OBS ring network, every node is equipped with one tunable transmitter and one fixed-tuned receiver (TTFR) oparating on a given wavelength that identifies the node. TTFR type ring network has an advantage that no receiver collisions occur and each node can detect channel collision by transmitter side. By computer simulations, we evaluate the performance of throughput, goodput, and queueing delay. As a result, we show the performance effectiveness of our proposed architecture and access protocol.
