Does burst assembly really reduce the self-similarity?

چکیده
In the design of next generation IP networks a major problem is the mismatch between extremely high optical transmission rates and relatively slower electronic processing. OBS applies separate realizations of the network data plane and control plane in the optical and electrical domain, respectively. Classification and proper assembly of small IP packets to larger optical bursts at edge nodes are essential for the performance of burst reservation, transmission and electronic control in core nodes [5].

A 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 کاملEffect of Ingress Buffering on Self-Similarity of Optical Burst Traffic
Recently, optical burst switching and aggregated optical packet switching have gained significant exposure as possible future mechanisms for routing aggregated IP traffic over all-optical core networks. However, the limited buffering capacity in all-optical networks presents a major challenge, as current IP traffic displays strong selfsimilar properties. Reducing the burst loss rate of such lon...
متن کاملMultiresolution analysis of optical burst switching traffic
In this paper, a Multiresolution Analysis is conducted in order to study the self-similar features of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) traffic. The scenario consists of an OBS backbone with input traffic from a large number of Internet users, that generate Poisson-arriving heavytailed bursts. The results show that long-range dependence is preserved at timescales longer than the burst assembly time...
متن کاملSelf-similar traffic shaping at the edge router in optical packet-switched networks
Traffic shaping at the edge router is one possible solution to mitigate the adverse effects of self-similar traffic in optical packet-switched networks. In this paper we propose an optical packet assembly mechanism and study its impacts on the traffic characteristics. In addition to the Hurst parameter, we apply new measures to describe the short-term correlation and to investigate the effect o...
متن کاملA new window-based burst assembly scheme for TCP traffic over OBS
In this paper, the impact of burstification delay on the TCP traffic statistics is presented as well as a new assembly scheme that uses flow window size as the threshold criterion. It is shown that short assembly times are ideally suitable for sources with small congestion windows, allowing for a speed up in their transmission. In addition, large assembly times do not yield any throughput gain,...
