In this paper, we introduce a loss reduction scheme, Adaptive Burst cloning, as a technique
to ensure service-guarantees in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks. The basic idea is to …

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 …

Burst cloning reduces burst loss at core nodes by sending multiple copies of the same burst
through optical burst switched (OBS) network simultaneously in order to enhance probability …

In optical burst switched networks contention is the main source of burst loss. Burst
retransmission is a reactive loss recovery mechanism that attempts to resolve contention by …

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 …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising switching technology for next-generation
Internet backbone networks. One of the key problems hindering the realization of optical …

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 …

We investigate the effects on performance of using a partial retransmission mechanism in
Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. In our scheme, the lost segments of a burst are …

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 …

Among the three optical network technologies being studied for future Internet, namely,
optical circuit switching, optical packet switching and optical burst switching; optical burst …
