Wavelength-division multiplexing is currently being deployed in telecommunications
networks in order to satisfy the increased demand for capacity brought about by the …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising solution for building terabit optical routers and
realizing IP over WDM. In this paper, we describe the basic concept of OBS and present a …

In this letter we consider burst switching for very high speed routing in the next generation
Internet backbone. In this scenario, Internet protocol (IP) packets to a given destination are …

In this article, we first explore design choices in burst-switching and describe a new variation
that is especially suitable for optical WDM networks. We then identify main features of optical …

This letter addresses the problem of dimensioning fiber delay lines for optical buffers in a
network scenario where packets are asynchronous and of variable length. The focus is …

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 …

We discuss the introduction/implementation of optical IP routers, then we introduce a novel
scheduling algorithm incorporating void filling and aimed at optical routing of asynchronous …

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 …

This paper addresses the problem of building optical packet switches that are able to
effectively cope with variable length packet traffic and quality of service management …

One of the key components in the design of optical burst-switched nodes is the development
of channel scheduling algorithms that can efficiently handle data burst contentions …
