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 …

We describe the architecture, design, and implementation of a novel just-in-time (JIT)
signaling protocol for optical burst switching (OBS) in wavelength division multiplexed …

The rapid pace of development in both Internet applications and emerging optical
technologies is bringing about fundamental changes in networking philosophies. Key trends …

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 …

In this paper, we give an overview and classification of optical burst switching schemes and
present burst reservation concepts. The performance of various basic reservation …

We study the optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm for the support of the TCP flows in an
all optical network (AON). We analyze the TCP send rate, ie the amount of data sent per time …

On the way towards an architecture for a new QoS-supporting and scalable Internet, the IP-
over-photonics approach seems to be very promising. One possible solution in this domain …

This article reports a review of the most significant issues related to network architectures
and technologies which will enable the realization of future optical Internet networks. The …

The Internet revolution. Once, the public was delighted with 14.4 modem access and
fascinated by low-tech Web site content. But not for long. Technology has raced to keep up …

This paper studies the performance of TCP transport protocol over an optical burst-switched
(OBS) wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) wide-area network. Typically, an OBS …
