In the past years, several signaling protocols were proposed for OBS networks and the most
popular one is the Just-Enough-Time (JET) protocol. JET not only efficiently utilizes the …

In this article, we propose and evaluate a preemption-based scheme for the concurrent
improvement of network throughput and burst fairness in optical burst switched networks …

In this paper, we propose a new scheme to tackle the “beat down” unfairness problem in
optical burst switching networks. In the new scheme, the control packets of bursts with higher …

In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burst with different numbers of hops experience
unfairness in terms of the burst loss probability. In this paper, we propose a preemptive …

Approaches for dealing with the beat-down unfairness problem have been mainly limited to
electronic packet-switching networks. We investigate two methods for alleviating this …

Optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm has been proposed to achieve the packet switching
level throughput in the all optical domains. To meet the recent OBS commercialization …

Optical burst switching (OBS) presents itself as a promising technology for bridging the gap
between optical wavelength switching and optical packet switching. Increasingly …

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 …

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 emerging as one promising switching paradigm for the next
generation optical networks. To support multiple services in burst-switching networks, the …
