Heterogeneous data traffic is increasingly becoming a complex mix of both delay tolerant
and intolerant IP traffic. Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks have since become a …

This paper presents an architecture for an all optical switching node. The architecture is
suitable for optical packet and optical burst switching and provides appropriate contention …

In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, contention is reckoned as a major issue since it
not only reduces the efficiency and utilization of resources, but can also trigger TCP …

La tecnología de conmutación óptica de ráfagas (Optical Burst Switching, OBS) es una
alternativa prometedora para la próxima generación de redes ópticas. Esta tesis estudia el …

In this thesis, a feedback-based contention avoidance technique based on weighted Dijkstra
algorithm is proposed to address the contention avoidance problem for Optical Burst …

QoS provisioning in OBS networks can be generally classified as relative QoS provisioning
and absolute QoS provisioning. With relative QoS provisioning, some traffic classes will …
