Quality of Service in Optical Burst Switched Networks (Hardcover)

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as a promising switching architecture to support huge bandwidth requirements in optical backbone networks using Wavelength Multiplexing Division (WDM) technology. Due to its special features which combine the merits of optical circuit switching and packet switching, it can support high-speed transmission with fine bandwidth granularity using off-the-shelf technologies. OBS has attracted a lot of attention from researchers in the optical networking community. This book will be devoted to a comprehensive discussion on the quality of service (QoS) issue in OBS networks since it becomes a critical requirement for optical networks to support QoS requirements. Chapter 1 will discuss about the basic mechanisms to improve overall QoS in OBS networks. Chapter 2 will discuss the basic mechanisms to improve overall QoS in OBS networks. Chapter 3 will discuss the relative QoS differentiation among multiple service classes in OBS networks. Chapter 4 will focus on absolute QoS provisioning in OBS networks. Chapter 5 will discuss the end-to-end QoS provisioning in OBS networks. research directions in OBS networks.
