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 …

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has become a mature technology to support the current and
next generation Internet over optical network backbones. In OBS networks contention is the …

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 (OBS) networks, burst loss is mainly due to contention that occurs at
both edge and core node. At edge node, contending burst may be electronically queued …

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 …

Burst loss is the major problem that faces the development of optical burst switching (OBS)
networks. The burst loss is caused by the contention which affects badly OBS performance …

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 …

In OBS networks, burst loss affects negatively the performance of the higher layers.
Proactive loss recovery mechanisms, such as burst cloning, have the advantage of low burst …

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 optical burst switched networks contention is the main source of burst loss. The burst
retransmission resolves contention by retransmitting the contended burst at the optical burst …
