The paper investigates the QoS performance with service differentiation of the wavelength-
routed optical burst switched (WR-OBS) network architecture. The request scheduler was …

We propose a new burst scheduling mechanism for Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks.
The new approach is made possible by gathering data bursts into groups and performing …

This paper deals with the problem of service differentiation in an optical packet-switched
backbone. A QoS-aware network function based on different routing and contention …

The growth of data traffic and recent technological advances in optical communications are
driving network research towards new paradigms regarding the utilisation of fibre huge …

As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in wavelength-routed
optical networks (WRONs), the quality of transmission (QoT) is degraded by transmission …

A new framework for traffic scheduling in bufferless slotted all-optical packet switched (OPS)
networks is proposed, where combination of contention resolution and reduction schemes is …

Optical Packet Switching (OPS) technologies are among the most promising solutions for
next generation Internet. In this paper, we address quality of service (QoS) and fairness …

The paper introduces an original MAC protocol for a passive optical metropolitan area
network using time-domain wavelength interleaved networking (TWIN). Optical channels are …

Media access control protocols for an optically interconnected star-coupled system with pre-
allocated WDMA channels are introduced and compared. The photonic network is based on …
