Providing QoS for Anycasting over Optical Burst Switched Grid Networks

This paper presents a mathematical framework to provide Quality of Service (QoS) for Grid Applications over optical networks. These QoS parameters include, resource availability, reliability, propagation delay, and quality of transmission (QoT). These multiple services are needed to ensure the successful completion of a Grid job. With the help of link-state information available at each Network Element (NE), the bursts are scheduled to its next link. This de-centralized way of routing helps to provide optimal QoS and hence decreases the loss of Grid jobs due to multiple constraints.
