Dimensioning of FDL Buffers for Optical Burst Switching Nodes
نویسنده
چکیده
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 design parameters of FDL buffers like FDL delay, buffer architecture and total number of buffer ports. Finally, we introduce and evaluate strategies for distributing a given number of buffer ports over all FDL’s of a feed-forward buffer.

Performance meets technology - an integrated evaluation of OBS nodes with FDL buffers
In this paper, we show the benefit of an integrated analysis of performance and technology, as both signal degradation and burst losses limit the effective throughput of optical burst switching nodes. The investigation covers the Tune-andSelect (TAS) base architecture as well as extensions with dedicated and shared FDL buffers. First, we describe these node architectures and the OBS reservation...
متن کاملImpact of Burst Assembly on the Performance of FDL Buffers in Optical Burst-Switched Networks
Optical burst switching (OBS) is a new approach proposed with the objective of utilizing the huge transmission capacity available with WDM links both efficiently and cost effectively. Burst assembly is one of the main building blocks of this approach, which is performed at the edge of an OBS domain in order to generate bursts whose lengths are much larger than the switching time of all-optical ...

Optical packet and burst switching have been proposed for networks because of the increased demand for capacity to transport traffic generated by various applications at present and in future. In optical packet switching networks the payload and the header of a packet are conveyed in the same channel, while burst switching networks allow the separate transportation of the payload and the header...

Optical burst switching (OBS) and Optical packet switching (OPS) are highly dynamic transport network architectures for a future optical Internet. As they both rely on statistical multiplexing network dimensioning, routing, and efficient contention resolution are key issues in order to achieve a low burst loss probability. This paper first compares principal network dimensioning and fixed routi...
متن کاملNew Fiber Delay Line Usage Strategy in Optical Burst Switching Node
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a new paradigm for future all-optical networks. In an OBS node, a Fiber Delay Line may be used to delay a burst, effectively increasing its offset time. Traditionally, FDLs were used in contention resolution, i.e. a burst was only buffered if it would otherwise been dropped. We propose a different approach, where delay lines are used also to better arrange burst...
