A Survey of optical packet switching and optical burst switching

چکیده
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) 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, with wavelength routing being the most prominent one. In this paper, we survey two new technologies which are still in their experimental stage, namely, optical packet switching and optical burst switching. We also comment on the suitability of these two technologies for transporting IP traffic.

Techniques for Optical Packet Switching and Optical Burst Switching
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...
متن کاملA Survey of Burst Assembly Algorithms for Optical Burst Switching (OBS)
A lot of research has focused on the need to develop an all-optical next generation network. That is, the development of a network where both transmission and switching are all performed in the optical domain. Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has so far received more attention than its predecessors for such a solution. Burst assembly is one the most crucial elements of OBS. The objective of this p...
متن کاملSurvey 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 کاملSurvey of QoS issues for TCP connections in Optical Burst Switched Networks
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) can cater the requirements of bandwidth intensive applications like Voice-over-IP, video conferencing, interactive video on demand. It is switching technique for the next generation optical networks. This paper deals with merits and the protocols used for the Optical Burst Switching. A brief survey of QoS open research issues for TCP/OBS connections is also discussed.
متن کاملTransporting IP Packets over Light: A Survey
Optical networks appear to be the solution of choice for providing a faster networking infrastructure that can meet the explosive growth of the Internet. One of the key issues that needs to be addressed is how optical networks can be used to carry IP traffic. In this paper, we survey some of the techniques that have been proposed in the literature for transporting IP traffic over an optical net...
