7 Performance issues in optical burst / packet switching
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter summarises the activities on optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS) carried out by the COST 291 partners in the last 4 years. It consists of an introduction, five sections with contributions on five different specific topics, and a final section dedicated to the conclusions. Each section contains an introductive state-of-the-art description of the specific topic and at least one contribution on that topic. The conclusions give some points on the current situation of the OPS/OBS paradigms.

Choices, Features and Issues in Optical Burst Switching
In this article, we first explore design choices in burst-switching and describe a new variation that is especially suitable for optical WDM networks. We then identify main features of optical burst switching (OBS), discuss major differences and similarities between OBS and optical circuitand packet-switching, and address important QoS related performance issues in OBS.
متن کاملTime Sliced Optical Burst Switching
Time Sliced Optical Burst Switching is a proposed variant of optical burst switching, in which switching is done in the time domain, rather than the wavelength domain. This eliminates the need for wavelength converters, the largest single cost component of systems that switch in the wavelength domain. We examine some of the key design issues for routers that implement time sliced optical packet...
متن کاملPerformance comparison between Optical Burst Switching and Deflection Routing
Optical packet-switched networks of the near future will likely use no or very small number of optical buffers. We compare the delay-throughput performance of deflection routing and optical burst switching because both do not require the use of optical buffers. Simulations show that the simple packet drop-andretransmit contention resolution strategy of optical burst switching has a better perfo...
متن کاملGb / s Silicon All - Optical Packet Switch for Buffer - less Optical Burst Switching
We experimentally demonstrate a 160-Gb/s Ethernet 4 packet switch using an 8.6-mm-long silicon nanowire for optical 5 burst switching, based on cross phase modulation in silicon. One 6 of the four packets at the bit rate of 160 Gb/s is switched by an 7 optical control signal using a silicon based 1 × 1 all-optical packet 8 switch. Error free performance (BER < 1E-9) is achieved for the 9 switch...
متن کاملOptical burst and packet switching
The increasing volume and ratio of packet switched traffic poses new challenges on optical transmission technology applied in telecommunications networks. Retaining efficient operation of networks under the changing traffic load calls for development of new solutions. The paper focuses on two research directions of increasing importance: Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Packet Switchin...
