Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising switching technology to exploit the potential
benefits of optical communication and, at the same time, support statistical multiplexing of …

This paper provides a scalable framework for analysis and performance evaluation of optical
burst-switching (OBS) networks. In particular, a new reduced load fixed point approximation …

Over the past several years, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the
areas of optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS). This research has …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed in the late 1990s as a novel photonic
network architecture directed towards efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS aims at cost …

This paper provides a framework for analysis and performance evaluation of Optical Burst
Switching (OBS) networks. In particular, a new reduced load fixed point approximation …

Optical transmission has long been the established choice for nonwireless data
transmission spanning distances longer than a few tens of meters, due to its high bandwidth …

We provide teletraffic models for loss probability evaluation of optical burst switching (OBS).
We show that the popular Engset formula is not exact for OBS modeling and demonstrate …

This paper presents a new analytical model for calculating the blocking probability in Just-
Enough-Time (JET)-based optical burst switching networks. Relationship to the problem of …
