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 …

We will present versatile optical code (OC)-based photonic MPLS, so-called OC-MPLS
which ranges from circuit switching, burst switching, to packet switching. OC-label is an …

Packet contention is a major issue in asynchronous optical packet switching networks.
Optical buffering, which is implemented by fiber delay lines (FDLs), is fundamental to many …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising candidate for a more dynamic optical layer in
the context of IP over WDM. Although buffering is not mandatory for the functionality of OBS …
