A novel scheme based on minimum delay at the edges for optical burst switching networks

This paper proposes a novel scheme based on minimum delay at the edges (MDE) for optical burst switching (OBS) networks. This scheme is designed to overcome the long delay at the edge nodes of OBS networks. The MDE scheme features simultaneous burst assembly, channel scheduling, and pre-transmission of control packet. It also features estimated setup and explicit release (ESXR) signaling protocol. The MDE scheme can minimize the delay at the edge nodes for data packets, and improve the end-to-end latency performance for OBS networks. In addition, comparing with the conventional scheme, the performances of the MDE scheme are analyzed in this paper.     

光突发交换中交换矩阵配置时间的影响研究

光突发交换是近几年出现的一种很有前途的交换技术。在光突发交换网络的核心节点中,光交换矩阵是一个关键部件,其配置时间影响到光突发交换网络的性能。这种影响表现在对数据信道可用时间施加了限制。在考虑光交换矩阵配置时间的基础上给出了修正后的LAUC算法,并通过计算机仿真研究了这种配置时间对光突发交换性能的影响。结果表明,光交换矩阵配置时间的增大会导致输出数据信道利用率的降低,进而增大了数据丢失率。
