This paper introduces a novel ingress node design which takes advantage of video data
partitioning in order to deliver enhanced video streaming quality when using H. 264/AVC …

Survivability of internet services is a significant and crucial challenge in designing optical
networks. A robust infrastructure and transmission protocols are needed to maintain …

In order to meet the requirements of real-time applications, Optical Burst Switched backbone
networks need to provide quantitative edge-to-edge loss guarantees to traffic flows. For this …

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the on demand use of capacity in OBS
networks, combining a two-way reservation protocol and an assembly scheme process that …

This article gives an insight on the importance to assign a different capacity to each network
link and to tighten the Quality of Service (QoS) provision in the network, in dynamic WDM …

This paper defines a new multi-layered architecture for supporting optical burst switching
(OBS) in an optical core network. The architecture takes into account both the control plane …

This paper introduces optimal batch scheduling algorithms for the problem of scheduling
batches of bursts in optical burst switching networks. The problem is modelled as a job …

In this paper we present a signaling protocol for QoS differentiation suitable for optical burst
switching networks. The proposed protocol is a two-way reservation scheme that employs …

We develop an approximate analytic model of an Optical Burst Switch with share-per-node
fibre delay lines and tuneable wavelength converters by employing Equivalent Random …

Abstract In Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks, the limitation of optical buffering devices
make it impractical to deploy conventional delay-based differentiation algorithms such as …
