Enhancing Fairness in OBS Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising solution for all optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. It combines the benefits of both Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Circuit Switching (OCS). In this switching, data are transmitted in the form of bursts. Fairness is the main constraint in high-performance OBS network. In order to improve the fairness, a method known as hop-based burst-cluster transmission is used. In this method, bursts are assembled from smallest to largest number of hops, and transmitted along with the control packets, that are used to reserve the wavelengths. Bursts with larger number of hops have more chances of wavelength reservation than those with smaller number of hops. This results in the decrease of overall burst loss probability and fairness is also improved. Finally the performance of hop based burst-cluster transmission for 14-node NSFNET is evaluated. Keywords— OBS, Fairness Improvement, Burst Loss Probability, Wavelength Division Multiplexing.

متن کاملProvision of End-to-End Delay Guarantees in Wavelength-Routed Optical Burst-Switched Networks
In Wavelength-Routed Optical Burst-Switched Networks (WR-OBS), lightpaths are dynamically established for the transmission of bursts (aggregation of packets in edge routers) through a bufferless optical core. In this paper, we show how WR-OBS can provide end-to-end delay guarantees, and introduce methods to achieve fairness in the network. The conditions under which WR-OBS bring operational adv...
متن کاملIntermediate-Hop Preemption to Improve Fairness in Optical Burst Switching Networks
In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burst with different numbers of hops experience unfairness in terms of the burst loss probability. In this paper, we propose a preemptive scheme based on the number of transit hops in OBS networks. In our proposed scheme, preemption is performed with two thresholds; one is for the total number of hops of a burst and the other is for the number of trans...
