Techniques for Optical Packet Switching and Optical Burst Switching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavelength-division multiplexing appears to be the solution of choice for providing a faster networking infrastructure that can meet the explosive growth of the Internet. Several different technologies have been developed so far for the transfer of data over WDM. In this article we survey two new technologies which are still in the experimental stage — optical packet switching and optical burst switching — and comment on their suitability for transporting IP traffic.

Survey and Comparison of Optical Switch Fabrication Techniques and Architectures
The main issue in the optical transmission is switching speed. The optical packet switching faces many significant challenges in processing and buffering. The generalized multilevel protocol switching seeks to eliminate the asynchronous transfer mode and synchronous optical network layer, hence the implementation of IP over WDM (wave length division multiplexing). Optical burst switching attemp...
متن کاملNode Architectures for Optical Packet and Burst Switching
Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS) are optical networking concepts based on fully exploiting fast dynamic allocation of (D)WDM channels. Compared to more static approaches focussing on providing end-toend optical channels, OPS and OBS aim at providing greater bandwidth efficiency, granularity and flexibility. In this paper we give an overview of the issues arising ...

متن کاملEnsuring QOS Guarantees in a Hybrid OCS/OBS Network
The bursting aggregation assembly in edge nodes is one of the key technologies in OBS (Optical Burst Switching) network, which has a direct impact on flow characteristics and packet loss rate. An optical burst assembly technique supporting QoS is presented through this paper, which can automatically adjust the threshold along with the increasing and decreasing volume of business, reduce the ope...
متن کاملWavelength vs Burst vs Packet Switching: comparison of optical network models
In this paper Wavelength Switching (WS), Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Packet Switching (OPS) network models are compared. The next future is for WS networks but there is a big investigation effort for development of both OBS and OPS networks, which seem to be further successors in the optical networks world. At the beginning, a brief distinction between considered switching paradig...
