Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Next-generation high-speed Internet backbone networks will be required to support a broad range of emerging applications which may not only require significant bandwidth, but may also have strict quality of service (QoS) requirements. Furthermore, the traffic from such applications are expected to be highly bursty in nature. For such traffic, the allocation of static fixed-bandwidth circuits may lead to the over-provisioning of bandwidth resources in order to meet QoS requirements. Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising new technique which attempts to address the problem of efficiently allocating resources for bursty traffic. In OBS, incoming data is assembled into bursts at the edges of the network, and when the burst is ready to be sent, resources in the network are reserved only for the duration of the burst. The reservation of resources is typically made by an out-of-band one-way control message which precedes the burst by some offset time. By reserving resources only for the duration of the burst, a greater degree of utilization may be achieved in the network. This book provides an overview of optical burst switching. Design and research issues involved in the development of OBS networks are discussed, and approaches to providing QoS in OBS networks are presented. Topics include: - Optical burst switching node and network architectures - Burst assembly - Signaling protocols - Contention resolution - Burst scheduling - Quality of service in OBS networks

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the current state of the technology, the Optical Burst Switched (OBS) architecture is a practical optical switching solution for the optical networks. In OBS, the user data is transmitted in variable size data units, called bursts, which travel as an optical signal along the entire route. The control information for each burst is transmitted prior to its corresponding burst and it is electronically processed at each hop along the route. The dynamic nature of OBS allows for network adaptability and scalability, which makes it very suitable for the transmission of bursty traffic. In this thesis we study and analyze the performance of OBS networks. We consider the case when the bursts are large enough to simultaneously hold wavelengths on multiple links along the route. Since the size of the bursts varies and the link distance between two adjacent network nodes also varies, a burst may simultaneously occupy wavelengths on a variable number of links as it travels from its source to its destination. As the burst propagates through the network, it dynamically acquires and releases wavelengths from link to link. In this thesis, we propose queueing network models that feature dynamic simultaneous link possession and analyze them in order to obtain the end-to-end burst loss probabilities. This thesis is structured into five parts. In the first part, we describe the Optical Burst Switch architecture and summarize its main design components. In the second part, we define and motivate the simultaneous link possession problem. In the third part, we study an OBS network where the bursts are large enough to simultaneously hold wavelengths on one or two consecutive links. In the fourth part of this thesis, we analytically study an OBS network with simultaneous link possession and a very large number of wavelengths per link. In the fifth part, we address the problem of how to analytically evaluate the performance of OBS networks when the arrival traffic is bursty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical burst switching (OBS) is the most promising all-optical architectures for the next generation Internet. OBS is still being developed and several issues still need to be addressed. Several studies have stressed the importance of the choice of the offset time and its criticality in influencing the burst loss phenomenon in OBS networks. The main problem arises in estimating the initial delay that is compatible with the optical burst switching architecture implemented. This thesis aims to provide a mechanism to calculate the offset time and to study its effect on the network performance and refining QoS levels. The study is extended to networks under failure to investigate the influence of the delay factor on the restoration process especially in compensating failed-network performance degradations. The simulation studies validated the proposed mechanism and formed an annex that can be integrated on any OBS restoration mechanism. A new QoS parameter is defined to meet service differentiation with respect to the data losses and delays.

Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we studied the performance of Optical Burst Switching (OBS). OBS is a promising new solution for the next-generation optical Internet. In the first part of the dissertation, we studied a novel WDM ring network with OBS. The ring consists of N nodes, and each node owns a home wavelength on which it transmits its bursts. The ring operates under the fixed transmitter tunable receiver (FTTR) scheme. Control information is transmitted on a separate control channel. We proposed five different burst switching access protocols. We also studied the performance of these access protocols in terms of throughput, packet delay, throughput fairness, and delay fairness under different network parameters: average packet arrival rate, maximum burst size, and minimum burst size. Finally, we proposed a new offset calculation method, which can significantly simplify the access protocol design, and reduce the packet delay for all access protocols. In the second part of the dissertation, we analyzed an edge node of a WDM OBS mesh network using a new burst arrival process, which is more realistic than the well-known Poisson process. The edge node is modeled as a closed non-product-form queueing network, consisting of special nodes with orbiting customers. Despite the rich literature in queueing network analysis, this particular queueing network with orbiting customers has not been analyzed before. We developed algorithms for both the single-class and multi-class queueing networks. The single-class queueing network is solved using Marie's method. In the case of no converters, we obtained a closed-form expression of the conditional throughput of the special node with orbiting customers. The multi-class queueing network is analyzed by decomposition. Specifically, a multiple-class queueing network is decomposed into a set of two-class queueing networks, and each of them is then solved by Neuse and Chandy's Heuristic Aggregation Method. We also developed a much faster appr.

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the performance evaluation of the Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. A simulation framework based on OPNET Modeler is designed and implemented to evaluate the performance of an OBS network in the presence of self-similar traffic sources. The impact of self-similar traffic sources and specific design parameters imposed on the network is assessed in terms of burst assembly delay, its jitter and burst loss ratio. The performance metrics have a strong dependency on parameters such as number of packets per burst, assembly timeout, number of available wavelengths and the degree of the traffic self-similarity. Furthermore, the impact of time and size-based burst assembly algorithms utilized in edge routers, on the self-similarity level of the output traffic, is evaluated. Both static & adaptive approaches are examined. This research utilizes the OPNET Modeler(r) focusing on the characteristics of the output traffic. Various Hurst parameter estimators have been applied to estimate the Hurst parameter of the aggregated input and output traffic streams. The performance impact of the burst assembly approaches in terms of burst assembly delay and its jitter is measured.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled " Novel Resource Allocation Schemes in Optical Burst Switching Networks" submitted by Li Guangming for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2006 Optical communication systems will play an important role in the next generation network. At present, there are three major candidate solutions for optical communication systems based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology: optical circuit switching (OCS), optical packet switching (OPS), and optical burst switching (OBS). Given the limitations of current optical processing capability and lack of practical optical buffers, OBS is considered to be the top choice for the next generation network in the near term since it is more efficient than OCS in terms of wavelength utilization efficiency and it does not require the technological breakthroughs needed to make OPS a reality. The main objective of our research is to develop novel resource allocation schemes to improve network performance in OBS networks. We start with a comprehensive review of existing research in OBS networks. We then present the relationships between network performance and network parameters in OBS networks, and provide the guidelines for choosing variousreservation schemes and scheduling algorithms in OBS networks. Switching constraint resolutions are proposed to alleviate the negative effects due to switching configuration time. Next, we propose a window-based reservation scheme and the use of regional controllers to reduce burst contentions. The advantage of using regional controllers and the window-based reservation scheme is that they can be implemented in a generic OBS network and only increase the electronic processing. Simulations show that the proposed schemes can improve network performance even if the network is heavily loaded. Then, we propose a straightforward reservation scheme, dynamic offset, in OBS networks with fiber delay lines (FDLs). Simulations show that the proposed scheme has lower loss probability than the general scheme. We further study the problem of dimensioning fiber delay lines and present the impacts of their parameters on network performance. Finally, we propose a delayed reservation decision scheme in OBS networks with FDLs. Simulations show that the proposed scheme can improve network performance compared with existing schemes.
