Optical burst switching is a promising solution for all-optical WDM networks. It combines the
benefits of optical packet switching and wavelength routing while taking into account the …

MapReduce is a programming model for data intensive computing on large-scale distributed
systems. With its wide acceptance and deployment, improving the energy efficiency of …

Since its advent in 1981, TCP has been subject to a tremendous amount of research effort
and enhancements for achieving better performance over various network environments …

Approaches for dealing with the beat-down unfairness problem have been mainly limited to
electronic packet-switching networks. We investigate two methods for alleviating this …

To reduce contention in optical burst switched networks, data bursts are preceded by the so-
called burst control packets, which are sent a given offset time in advance in order to …

In most existing studies of optical burst-switched networks, adaptive routing is based on
deflection routing and/or feedback from the past intervals which often introduces excessive …

We propose a preemptive scheme based on the hop number of a burst for optical burst
switching (OBS) networks. In the proposed scheme, when a burst fails in reserving a …

In the past years, several signaling protocols were proposed for OBS networks and the most
popular one is the Just-Enough-Time (JET) protocol. JET not only efficiently utilizes the …

Current fast-growing Internet traffic is demanding increased network capacity each day, as
well as support for differentiated services. Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …

In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burst with different numbers of hops experience
unfairness in terms of the burst loss probability. In this paper, we propose a preemptive …
