Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Migration Capable Networks with Service
Guarantees (OpMiGua) are two all-optical network architectures. In this paper we compare …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a new paradigm for future all-optical networks. Intentional
burst dropping is one of techniques used to achieve desired quality of service. In this paper …

This Chapter addresses the problem of quality of service (QoS) provisioning in optical burst
switching (OBS) networks. OBS is a photonic network technology aiming at efficient transport …

Optical burst switching (OBS) technology is a promising solution for the next generation
Internet backbone. However, contention resolution and QoS support constitute critical issues …

On the way towards an architecture for a new QoS-supporting and scalable Internet, the IP-
over-photonics approach seems to be very promising. One possible solution in this domain …

With the increasing interest in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, the performance
assessment of this kind of networks became of particular concern. Recently, some authors …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed in the late 1990s as a novel photonic
network architecture directed towards efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS aims at costefficient …

In this paper, we give an overview and classification of optical burst switching schemes and
burst reservation concepts. We compare the performance of different burst reservation …

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 …

We propose a modified version of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) that adapts the size of
switched data units to the network load. Specifically, we propose a two-way reservation OBS …
