The relevant system architectures of limited range and limited number of wavelength converters(WCs) deployed by a share-per-fiber(SPF) mode were developed,and the novel theoretical analysis of node blocking probability was derived by combining the calculation of discouraged arrival rate in a birth-death process and two-dimensional Markov chain model of SPF. The simulation results on single node performance verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the analysis models. Under most scenarios,it is difficult to distinguish the plots generated by the analysis and simulation. As the conversion degree increases,the accuracy of the analysis model worsens slightly. However,the utmost error on burst loss probability is far less than one order of magnitude and hence,still allows for an accurate estimate. Some results are of actual significance to the construction of next-generation commercial OBS backbones.展开更多

This article pres...The issue of burst losses imposes a constraint on the development of Optical Burst Switching （OBS） networks. Heavy burst losses strongly affect the Quality of Service （QoS） intended by end users. This article presents a QoS aware Routing and Wavelength Allocation （RWA） technique for burst switching in OBS networks. The RWA problem is modeled as a bi-objective Integer Linear Programming （ILP） problem, where objective functions are based on minimizing the number of wavelengths used and the number of hops traversed to fulfill the burst transmission requests for a given set of node pairs. The ILP model is solved using a novel approach based on a Differential Evolution （DE） algorithm. Analytical results show that the DE algorithm provides a better performance compared to shortest path routing, which is a widely accepted routing strategy for OBS networks.展开更多

The efficiency of traffic shaping is mainly determined by token generation method. In this paper, token generation methods of traffic shaping are evaluated by using three kinds of probability distribution, and are analyzed in terms of burst blocking probability, through-put and correlation by simulation. The simulation results show that the token generation methods decrease the burst correlation of Label Switched Paths (LSPs), and solve traffic congestion as well. The different burst arrival processes have small impact on the blocking probability for OBS net works.

A novel mechanism based on probe burst （PB） and a new key concept is proposed to detect faults of OBS networks by sampling the health of data channels, which solve the difficulty of optical monitoring schemes while keeps the transparency of data network to Internet protocol （IP） packets. It takes full advantage of the characteristics of OBS, including architecture and signalling scheme, and introduces the excellent performances of single-hop-test used in electrical communication networks into OBS environment while avoids the shortcoming that any optical burst must undergo an optical-electric-optical （OEO） conversion. Well designed PB can provide exact criterion for judging whether protection/restoration should be excuted according to hard or soft fault identification.展开更多

To support services differentiation, it is the first time that the analytical model of delay preemption based priority is built. Further, in order to guarantee the low-loss requirement for high priority bursts, an improved scheme is proposed and investigated by limiting the buffered right of low priority bursts within the specific traffic states. The simulation results show that, without the deterioration of blocking performance, there is more than 40% reduction on burst loss being achieved under the conditionρ=1.0 for high priority bursts.展开更多

This paper presents a framework to evaluate blocking performance of time-slot-ted OBS networks with multi-fiber wavelength channels. The proposed model is efficient for not only single class traffic such as individual circuit switch traffics or best-effort traffics but also mixed multi-class traffics. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated by simulation results. The study shows that blocking per-formance of multi-fiber TS-OBS network is acceptable for future Internet services.展开更多

In the scheme, the limits of burst length and assembly time are both set according to certain qualifications. For executing the scheme, the conception for unit input bit rate is introduced to improve universality, and the assembly algorithm with a buffer safety space under the self-similar traffic model at each ingress edge router is proposed. Then, the components of burst and packet delay are concluded, and the equations that limits of burst length and assembly time should satisfy to stabilize the burst edge delay under different buffer offered loads are educed. The simulation results show that united stabilizing scheme stabilizes both burst and packet edge delay to a great extent when buffer offered load changes from 0.1 to 1, and the edge delay of burst and packet are near the limit values under larger offered load, respectively.展开更多
