This work proposes a distributed framework for routing path optimization in Optical Burst-
Switched (OBS) networks loosely mimicking the foraging behavior of ants, which in the past …

Optical burst switching (OBS) networks depend on contention resolution strategies to reach
reasonable bandwidth utilization efficiency. However, these strategies increase both the …

Future bandwidth-intensive services, which will have a wide impact on our daily lives, from
entertainment, to business and health-care, demand high capacity, flexible, resilient and …

Shared Wavelength Converters Page 1 Bandwidth-Efficient Optical Burst-Switched …

This paper addresses the possibility of using traffic engineering in the wavelength domain
as a way to improve the performance of optical burst-switched (OBS) networks. With that …

The prospects of optical burst switching (OBS) as a cost-effective optical networking
paradigm are related with the capability (and the associated complexity) of resolving …

Optical burst switching (OBS) networks rely on complex and costly contention resolution
strategies to reach reasonable bandwidth utilization efficiency. Recent research efforts have …
