We propose and evaluate a novel scheme, referred to as bimodal burst switching (BBS)
scheme, for optical burst switching (OBS) star networks, which can be used in grid networks …

In this work we propose an optical burst switching retransmission scheme without any loss of
bursts for star topology networks that exploits the entire network capacity. The basic idea is …

The optical burst switching (OBS) schemes to date assume that the switching overhead at
intermediate nodes is either negligible or can be considered as part of the processing delay …

This paper presents a burst loss rate (BLR) scheme suitable for slotted optical burst switched
networks. An analytical model for burst loss rate is presented. The effect of several design …

In this work, we propose a mechanism to reduce the burst blocking probability in an OBS
network formed by several stars interconnected by a ring. An offset windows scheme is …

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 …

We propose to improve the throughput performance of optical burst switching by using
regional controller nodes and window-based reservation. Both methods increase the …

The paper defines a new layered architecture for supporting optical burst switching in an
optical core network. The architecture takes into account both the control plane and the data …

An Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network provides preferable broadband infrastructure, and
is a promising strong candidate for the future optical Internet. However, there is a major …

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 …
