"optical burst switching"

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising technology for optical grids with short-lived and interactive data communication requirements. On the other hand, burst losses are in the nature of the OBS protocol and these losses severely affect the …

In this paper, we first propose a joint resource and path selection algorithm for optical burst switched grids. We show that path switching and network-aware resource selection can reduce burst loss probability and average completion time of grid …
