In this article we present a survey of routing methods in Optical Burst Switching (OBS)
networks. We begin with a description of routing approaches and follow the discussion with …

Over the past several years, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the
areas of optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS). This research has …

Microsecond-scale congestion events, known as microbursts, are a main cause of packet
loss and poor application performance in today's datacenters. Given the low network …

The present market scenario demands an integration of process planning and scheduling to
stay competitive with others. In the present work, an integrated process planning and …

In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, a key problem is to schedule as many bursts as
possible on wavelength channels so that the throughput is maximized and the burst loss is …

Bursts, sudden surges in network utilization, are a significant root cause of packet loss and
high latency in datacenters. Packet deflection, re-routing packets that arrive at a local …

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a burst retransmission scheme in which the
bursts lost due to contentions in an OBS network are retransmitted at the OBS layer. The …

In this paper, a performance comparison of resolution policies specific to optical burst
switching is presented. A framework, based on a reduced-load approximation, is developed …

Methods to resolve wavelength contention are needed to improve the performance of optical
burst switched (OBS) networks. Network simulations and Markovian queuing models for …

This paper studies the blocking performance of optical burst switching (OBS) networks using
a sequential office control (SOC) state-independent deflection routing policy. We show that …
