In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, a key problem is to schedule as many bursts as
possible on wavelength channels so that the throughput is maximized and the burst loss is …

One of the key components in the design of optical burst-switched nodes is the development
of channel scheduling algorithms that can efficiently handle data burst contentions …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising paradigm for the next-generation Internet. In
OBS, a key problem is to schedule bursts on wavelength channels, whose bandwidth may …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed in the late 1990s as a novel photonic
network architecture directed towards efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS aims at cost …

In this paper we introduce a new signalling architecture called dual-header optical burst
switching (DOBS) for next generation burst-switching optical networks. Using DOBS, the …

Abstract In Optical Burst Switching (OBS), packets travel through the network core as part of
longer-size optical bursts, which do not suffer electronic conversion until they reach an …

In this paper, we introduce a new signalling architecture called Dual-header Optical Burst
Switching (DOBS) for next generation burst-switching optical networks. DOBS decouples the …

A new integrated scheme based on resource-reservation and adaptive network flow routing
to alleviate contention in optical burst switching networks is proposed. The objective of the …

This book provides a broad overview of IP over WDM technologies, as seen by a group of
