Abstract: | Optical burst switching is a switching technology that is able to provide viable switching for optical internet with the present day technology. This paper presents a new medium access protocol for wavelength division multiplexing based optical burst switched metro ring network namely distributed queue optical burst switched ring (DQOBSR). It is a slotted, distributed queue access protocol with fixed bus structure and simple wavelength assignment. The topology consists of two unidirectional, counter rotating rings and the medium access protocol is based on distributed queuing. The protocol provides zero blocking with acceptable access delays. A mathematical model is also presented to determine the mean access delay which is the important performance parameter for the protocol. The simulation and model based results are compared and found to be in good agreement. |
