Assessment of Packet Loss for an Optical Feedback Buffer Node using Slotted Variable-Length Packets and Heavy-Tailed Traffic

چکیده
The new telecommunication networks scenario is characterised by a very rapid increase of the volume of traffic, and also very variable and unpredictable traffic demands. In this context, all-optical packet switching is emerging as the most promising technology for covering such new requirements. In this paper, we deal with the performance analysis of an optical packet switch with a feedback delay line buffers configuration. The network mode operation is slotted and the case of realistic traffic model (i.e., variable-length packets modelled by selfsimilar traffic) fitted into trains of fixed-size slots is considered. Results from contention resolution performed by using both the time and the wavelength domains show that they must be exploited as combined tools in order to obtain good node performance.

The Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...

This PhD dissertation aims at identifying the major issues and difficulties that arise in Optical Packet Switching networks (providing a transport infrastructure for telecommunication traffic), from a logical performance point of view. The latter means that we will not deal so much with physical/technological challenges of OPS, but rather discuss how to handle the optical packets in terms of co...

We study photonic packet switching architecture that enables high node throughput and provides priority services. While an ultra-high-speed address-lookup capability can be realized in the optical domain for a photonic packet switch, the optical buffer must be managed in the electrical domain. In this paper, we propose a photonic buffer architecture that can support prioritized buffer managemen...

متن کاملMulti-Stage Fiber Delay Line Buffer in Photonic Packet Switch for Asynchronously Arriving Variable-Length Packets
We study photonic packet switches to support asynchronously arriving variable-length packets. A scheduler for contention resolution is operated in electrical domain even when data street of the buffer is provided in optical domain. In this scheme, the scheduler may be a bottleneck. To compensate the gap of high-speed optical transmission and slow-speed electronic processing, we propose a multi-...
