This paper reviews advanced optical burst switching (OBS) and optical packet switching
(OPS) technologies and discusses their roles in the future photonic Internet. Discussions …

The fast evolution of networks has been continuously driven by new advances in enabling
technologies, as well as the growth of Internet traffic. All-optical packet switching provides …

We address the issue of contention resolution in optical burst switched networks, and we
introduce an approach for reducing packet losses which is based on the concept of burst …

We address the issue of providing quality-of-service (QoS) in an optical burst-switched
network. QoS is provided by introducing prioritized contention resolution policies in the …

A number of schemes have been proposed for providing quality-of-service (QoS)
differentiation in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks. Most existing schemes are based on …

We address the issue of providing differentiated services to IP packets over an optical burst
switched core network, and we introduce a new approach for assembling packets into a …

In optical burst-switched networks, data loss may occur when bursts contend for network
resources. There have been several proposed solutions to resolve contentions in order to …

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 …

This paper investigates contention resolution schemes for optical packet switching networks
from an end-to-end perspective, where the combined exploitation of both core routers and …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has attracted interest as a transport network architecture for
the future optical Internet. As OBS relies on statistical multiplexing efficient contention …
