In this paper, we present a new hybrid optical burst switch architecture (HOBS) that takes advantage of the pre-transmission idle time during lightpath establishment. In dynamic c...
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that con...
Abstract. Optical Burst Switching proposes a future-proof alternative to the current electronic switching in the backbone. The involved optical buffers are implemented with a set o...
—Optical burst switching (OBS) technology is a promising solution for the next generation Internet backbone. However, call admission control (CAC) and QoS support constitute crit...
All optical switching has been proposed as a candidate to allow high capacity networking in the future. Currently, Optical Circuit Switching has been widely deployed, although thi...
