Supporting Ethernet in optical-burst-switched networks

چکیده
The reemergence of metropolitan area networks (MANs) is being stimulated by the continued growth of the Internet. Here we introduce the likely role that optical burst switching (OBS) will play in the development of 10-Gbit Ethernet (10GbE) metropolitan networks. Although the synchronous optical network (SONET) is being proposed to provide wide-area connectivity for 10GbE MANs, its synchronous time-division multiplexing (TDM) nature renders it inefficient for data-centric connections. OBS, however, provides a better sharing of network resources and when coupled with generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) provides a robust and more efficient transport for Ethernet services. © 2002 Optical Society of America

Supporting QoS with look-ahead window contention resolution in optical burst switched networks
Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed as a competitive hybrid switching technology to support the nextgeneration optical Internet. This paper addresses the problem of contention in OBS networks and introduces a new contention resolution algorithm called Look-ahead window Contention Resolution (LCR) that can also support service differentiation. Simulation results show that the perform...

To deliver virtually unlimited computing power to residential users, an anycast routed Optical Burst Switched Grid infrastructure is proposed. This architecture is evaluated and compared with traditional shortest path routed systems in Optical Circuit Switched and Burst Switched networks.
متن کاملPrioritized Routing and Burst Segmentation for QoS in Optical Burst-Switched Networks
Deflection routing and burst segmentation are two techniques for resolving contention in optical burst-switched networks. By selectively applying these techniques to bursts with different QoS requirements, we can offer a range of differentiated services at the optical layer. c 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4250) Networks
متن کاملSmall Group Multicast with Deflection Routing in Optical Burst Switched Networks
In this paper, we focus on the problem of effectively supporting a large number of small group multicasts in optical burst switched (OBS) networks. We first propose a multicast scheme for small group multicast in OBS networks. To reduce burst loss due to potential burst contentions, a deflection routing scheme for multicast is proposed. We then develop an analytical model to evaluate the perfor...
متن کاملSegment Technology of Differentiated Services Supporting in Optical Burst Switched networks
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been developed as an efficient switching technique to exploit the capacity provided by Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transmission technology for the next generation optical Internet. Segmentation is proposed in literatures to resolve contention, a major concern in optical burst switched networks. As far as segmentation is concerned, nearly all t...
