The current fast-growing Internet traffic is demanding more and more network capacity every
day. The concept of wavelength-division multiplexing has provided us an opportunity to …

To support bursty traffic on the Internet (and especially WWW) efficiently, optical burst
switching (OBS) is proposed as a way to streamline both protocols and hardware in building …

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)-based Passive Optical Networks (PON) has gained
attention due to the massive growth in bandwidth demand resulting from the increased …

We address the issue of how to provide basic quality of service (QoS) in optical burst-
switched WDM networks with limited fiber delay lines (FDLs). Unlike existing buffer-based …

We investigate a high speed protocol called Just-Enough-Time (JET) based on a tell-and-go
(TAG) protocol. It is suitable for bursty traffic where the duration of each burst is neither long …

This paper consists of a categorization of optical buffering strategies for optical packet
switches, and a comparison of the performance of these strategies both with respect to …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of contention-resolution schemes in a
multiwavelength optical packet-switched network. This investigation aims to provide a …

We address the issue of contention resolution in optical burst switched networks, and we
introduce an approach for reducing packet losses which is based on the concept of burst …

Recently, there has been growing interest in developing optical fiber networks to support the
increasing bandwidth demands of multimedia applications, such as video conferencing and …

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 …
