In this paper, we propose a novel proactive scheme, burst cloning, to reduce data loss due
to burst contention in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks. The idea is to replicate a burst …

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a burst retransmission scheme in which the
bursts lost due to contentions in an OBS network are retransmitted at the OBS layer. The …

The future prospects of optical burst switching (OBS) networks would greatly benefit, in terms
of cost and ease of implementation, from limiting or even avoiding the deployment of …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is one promising method for data transfer in photonic networks
based on a WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology. In the OBS scheme, the …

Optical burst switching is one of the most promising new optical transport paradigms for
efficiently transporting data over an all-optical network. In this paper, we discuss forward …

In this paper, we propose a threshold-based burst assembly scheme in conjunction with a
burst segmentation policy to provide QoS in optical burst switched (OBS) networks. Bursts …

Reducing burst contention is an inherently challenging problem in optical burst switched
(OBS) networks. We present a new proactive approach for tackling this problem; the …

One promising switching technology for wavelength-division multiplexing optical networks is
optical burst switching (OBS). However, there are major deficiencies of OBS.(1) The delay …

In optical burst-switched networks, data loss may occur when bursts contend for network
resources. There have been several proposed solutions to resolve contentions in order to …
