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
