چکیده

In this paper, we consider the problem of fast and efficient dynamic scheduling of bursts that belong to different classes of priority in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)based optical burst switching (OBS) networks with limited optical buffers. In OBS networks, control and data components of a burst are sent separately with a time gap to ensure that resources such as wavelengths and fiber delay lines (FDLs) are reserved at various nodes before the data burst arrives. A scheduling algorithm with attractive features such as computational simplicity and efficient resource utilization is mandatory to quickly handle dynamic burst traffic and reduce burst dropping probability. While void filling algorithms achieve good burst dropping performance they are computationally complex. We propose burst rescheduling as an alternative to void filling which can do fast scheduling without requiring to examine and fill voids and at the same time can achieve good performance. Burst rescheduling uses two mechanisms known as wavelength reassignment and last-hop FDL reassignment. We develop a scheduling algorithm using the above rescheduling mechanisms called Burst Rescheduling with Wavelength and Last-hop FDL Reassignment (BR-WFR) which is computationally simpler than a void filling algorithm. We then discuss the signaling overhead and feasibility of implementing burst rescheduling. Through simulation experiments we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed burst rescheduling algorithm.

An Efficient Optical Burst Switching Technique for Multi-Hop Networks∗∗

In this letter, we investigate the path length priority effect of existing just-enough-time (JET) scheme for optical burst switching (OBS) in the multiple hop network environments. And, we propose a novel hop-by-hop priority increasing (HPI) scheme using the input fiber delay lines (FDLs) at each node. Simulation results showed that the proposed FDL/delayed reservation (DR) with HPI scheme can ...

Dimensioning of FDL Buffers for Optical Burst Switching Nodes

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising candidate for a more dynamic optical layer in the context of IP over WDM. Although buffering is not mandatory for the functionality of OBS, even simple FDL buffers can improve burst loss probability. In this paper, we first discuss principal buffer architectures and reservation schemes for fiber delay line (FDL) buffers. Then, we investigate key desi...
