Node Architectures for Optical Packet and Burst Switching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS) are optical networking concepts based on fully exploiting fast dynamic allocation of (D)WDM channels. Compared to more static approaches focussing on providing end-toend optical channels, OPS and OBS aim at providing greater bandwidth efficiency, granularity and flexibility. In this paper we give an overview of the issues arising when designing an optical switch for either OPS or OBS, including packet formats, contention resolution techniques, and switching fabrics.

Performance improvement of an internally blocking optical packet/burst switch
Optical packet/burst switching is considered a promising technique to improve the performance of optical networks. Key components in these technologies are the optical switching nodes. Some of these node architectures suffer from internal blocking. Synchronous operation allows overcoming most of the problems introduced by this internal blocking. However, in asynchronous networks internal blocki...
متن کاملA New Control Architecture for Optical Burst Switching Networks
Two types of control architectures for control plane of optical burst switching networks have been defined in literature; first one is distributed with link-based reservation and second one centralized with end-toend reservation. In this paper we propose a new hybrid control architecture which combines the best features of both of these architectures such as scalability features of distributed ...

Optical burst switching is a promising solution for all-optical WDM networks. It combines the benefits of optical packet switching and wavelength routing while taking into account the limitations of the current all-optical technology. In OBS, the user data is collected at the edge of the network, sorted based on a destination address, and grouped into variable sized bursts. Prior to transmittin...

متن کاملSOA-Based Optical Packet Switching Architectures
The service evolution and the rapid increase in traffic levels fuel the interest toward switching paradigms enabling the fast allocation of Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM channels in an on demand fashion with fine granularities (microsecond scales). For this reason, in the last years, different optical switching paradigms have been proposed (Sabella et al., 2000): optical-packet switching...
