A survey of two new technologies which are still in the experimental stage-optical packet switching and optical burst switching-and comment on their suitability for transporting IP traffic.
Abstract
Wavelength-division multiplexing appears to be the solution of choice for providing a faster networking infrastructure that can meet the explosive growth of the Internet. Several different technologies have been developed so far for the transfer of data over WDM. We survey two new technologies which are still in the experimental stage-optical packet switching and optical burst switching-and comment on their suitability for transporting IP traffic.

Burst segmentation : an Approach for Reducing Packet Loss in Optical Burst Switched Networks

TL;DR: The segmentation scheme is investigated by simulation in conjunction with a deflection scheme, and it is shown that segmentation with deflection can achieve a significantly reduced packet loss rate.

Burst segmentation: an approach for reducing packet loss in optical burst switched networks

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for reducing packet losses in optical burst switched networks is proposed based on the concept of burst segmentation, where instead of dropping the entire burst during contention, the burst may be broken into multiple segments, and only the overlapping segments are dropped.

Assembling TCP/IP packets in optical burst switched networks

TL;DR: The results show that the performance of the proposed adaptive-assembly-period (AAP) algorithm is better than that of the min-burstlength-max- assembly- period (MBMAP) algorithm and the fixed-Assembly- Period (FAP) algorithms in terms of goodput and data loss rate.

Optical burst switching (OBS) - a new paradigm for an optical Internet

TL;DR: The general concept of OBS protocols and in particular, those based on Just-Enough-Time (JET), is described, along with the applicability ofOBS protocols to IP over WDM, and the performance of JET-based OBS Protocols is evaluated.
