… congestion with repeated retransmissions further aggravating the problem. Thus, the system
makes exemplary use of the advantages of all optical technology by meticulous delegating …

… -time-based scheme efficiently achieves service … scheme is applied to the multi-hop case.
To this end, we consider various policies to handle blocked bursts such as drop, retransmission…

… However, operation in the optical layer involves the reception and retransmission of the
received spectrally encoded data, MAI cancelation process and power adjustment to perform the …

… if a burst (or a packet in a burst) is dropped, the burst (or the packet) can only be recovered
by retransmission … In this paper, we propose a new proactive scheme, burst cloning, to reduce …

… This shows that the probability of nr-reordering is reduced by the number of packets per
burst. The probability of a packet invoking the fast retransmit algorithm with a dup-ack threshold …

… the burst loss rate. Results show that the retransmission scheme can reduce the burst loss
rate … With the retransmission scheme, the bursts in the contention will be dropped selectively …

… This is due to the fact that dropped bursts cause end-to-end retransmission to recover
burst losses and the amount of good information transferred in a given interval decreases. In …

… of optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS… Although optical packet
and burst switching have yet to be … Recovery can be accomplished through the retransmission …

… are sufficient due to the larger size of the optical bursts compared to the optical packets. …
losses lead to very low throughput and result in wastage of resources due to retransmissions at …

… can also lead to more timeouts, however, so it seems the combination of redundancy
through both clones and within the same burst helps minimize fast retransmissions and also the …
