In an effort to eliminate the electronic bottleneck, new optical switches/routers (hardware)
are being built for the next-generation optical Internet where IP runs over an all-optical WDM …

The interconnection of all things is developing a new diagram of future information networks.
However, it is difficult to realize future applications with only one single technique …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

In this tutorial, we give an introduction to optical burst switching and compare it with other
existing optical switching paradigms. Basic burst assembly algorithms and their effect on …

The concept of optical burst switching (OBS) aims to allow access to optical bandwidth in
dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) networks at fractions of the optical line rate …

This paper concerns itself with the performance of deflection routing in optical burst-switched
networks based on just-enough-time (JET) signaling. Generally speaking, buffer …

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 …

Next-generation high-speed Internet backbone networks will be required to support a broad
range of emerging applications which may not only require significant bandwidth, but may …

This paper presents the Poisson Pareto burst process (PPBP) as a simple but accurate
model for Internet traffic. It presents formulae relating the parameters of the PPBP to …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising paradigm for the next-generation Internet. In
OBS, a key problem is to schedule bursts on wavelength channels whose bandwidth may …
