Operation and maintenance (OAM) in optical burst switching (OBS) networks has not yet been addressed even though OBS has been gaining research interest in recent years. In this paper, we defined five OBS functions such as Burst Termination (BT), Burst Transmission (BTX), Burst Switching (BSW), Routing and Switching Control (RSC), and Protection and Restoration (PAR). A functional model for OBS networks and an OAM architecture are designed to meet the operational requirements. We present the first framework to realize OAM in OBS networks, including OAM activities, OAM-capable OBS nodes such as ingress edge, core, and egress edge nodes, OAM information and communication models and protocols. A number of examples of possible network failures are pointed out and the corresponding reactions to these using the proposed OAM architecture are presented.

The third generation mobile communication needs to provide multimedia service with increased data rates. Thus an efficient allocation of radio and network resources is very important. This paper models the 'burst switching' as an efficient radio resource allocation scheme and the performance is compared to the circuit and packet switching. In burst switching, radio resource is allocated to a call for the duration of data bursts rather than an entire session or a single packet as in the case of circuit and packet switching. After a stream of data burst, if a packet does not arrive during timer2 value ($\tau_{2}$), the channel of physical layer is released and the call stays in suspended state. Again if a packet does not arrive for timerl value ($\tau_{1}$) in the suspended state, the upper layer is also released. Thus the two timer values to minimize the sum of access delay and queuing delay need to be determined. In this paper, we focus on the decision of $\tau_{2}$ which minimizes the access and queueing delay with the assumption that traffic arrivals follow Poison process. The simulation, however, is performed with Pareto distribution which well describes the bursty traffic. The computational results show that the delay and the packet loss probability by the burst switching is dramatically reduced compared to the packet switching.

This paper proposes a priority-based duplicate burst transmission mechanism in an optical burst switching network to enhance the probability of successful reception of bursts. The performance of the proposed mechanism is evaluated by NS2 simulations. Our results show that the burst loss rate is improved especially under light traffic loads.

Presently, optical burst switching (OBS) technology is under study as a promising solution for the backbone of the optical Internet in the near future because OBS eliminates the optical buffer problem at the switching node with the help of no optical/electro/optical conversion and guarantees class of service without any buffering. To implement the OBS network, there are a lot of challenging issues to be solved. The edge router, burst offset time management, and burst assembly mechanism are critical issues. In addition, the core router needs data burst and control header packet scheduling, a protection and restoration mechanism, and a contention resolution scheme. In this paper, we focus on the burst assembly mechanism. We present a novel data burst generation algorithm that uses hysteresis characteristics in the queueing model for the ingress edge node in optical burst switching networks. Simulation with Poisson and self-similar traffic models shows that this algorithm adaptively changes the data burst size according to the offered load and offers high average data burst utilization with a lower timer operation. It also reduces the possibility of a continuous blocking problem in the bandwidth reservation request, limits the maximum queueing delay, and minimizes the required burst size by lifting up data burst utilization for bursty input IP traffic.

Optical burst switching(OBS) is a new switching paradigm to supporting bursty traffic on the Internet efficiently. OBS separates burst level and control level. To handle data burst efficiently, the scheduling schemes in optical burst switching systems must keep track of future resource availability when assigning arriving data bursts to wavelength channels. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of three scheduling schemes which are called Horizon, Single-gap and Multiple-gap, as a basic study for the future research of Optical Internet. Thus, firstly, we analyze the trade-off between the performance and the processing overhead of each scheme. In addition, the performance of OBS system which uses Multiple-gap scheduling is evaluated in detail under various network size. We use simulation for performance evaluation in terms of burst loss rate(BLR), wavelength channel utilization and the number of management data.

Known as an important criterion that evaluates performance of future high-speed backbone networks, burst data loss ratio is well-studied in Optical Burst Switching networks. Current literatures mostly focus on reduce burst loss ratio without considering the system stability and link utilization after reducing. In this paper, we propose a novel framework which comes from feedback theoretic to dynamically control burst loss ratio in OBS. The proposed scheme tries to track the pre-set values of burst loss ratio and increases the stability and link utilization degree. The simulation results show that measured burst loss ratio always tracks setup reference with small errors, wavelength channel utilization is increased up to 2% and the system stability is also improved.

Retransmission in optical burst switching networks is a solution to recover data loss by retransmitting the dropped burst. The ingress node temporarily stores a copy of the complete burst and sends it each time it receives a retransmission request from the core node. Some retransmission schemes have been suggested, but uncontrolled retransmission often increases the network load, consumes more bandwidth, and consequently, increases the probability of contention. Controlled retransmission is therefore essential. This paper proposes a new controlled retransmission scheme for loss recovery, where the available bandwidth of wavelength channels and the burst lifetime are referred to as network conditions to determine whether to transmit a dropped burst. A retrial queue-based analysis model is also constructed to validate the proposed retransmission scheme. The simulation and analysis results show that the controlled retransmission scheme is more efficient than the previously suggested schemes regarding byte loss probability, successful retransmission rate, and network throughput.

In Optical Burst Switching(OBS) networks, burst loss due to contention significantly affects the performance of networks. Even if many contention resolution schemes have been proposed, most of them have focused mainly on passively resolving contentions instead of avoiding them. In this paper, we propose an active contention avoidance scheme which controls a burst sending rate according to traffic load and burst loss in a network. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can more effectively reduce the burst loss rate compared to existing OBS model with and without burst sending rate control, and at the same time guarantees throughput.

In this paper, we propose a new optical hybrid switching system that takes advantage of both Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) technologies. This system classifies incoming IP traffic flows into short-lived and long-lived flows for hybrid switching. For performance analysis, we model the system as a single server queue in a Markovian environment. The burst generation process is assumed to follow a two-state Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP), and the service rate fluctuates based on the number of concurrent OCS sessions. Results of the mean delay and queue size for OBS bursts are derived.

In this paper, the development specification of the optical burst switching system (OBS) for next generation internet services is presented. The development specification includes the number of input/output nodes, the number of wavelengths, buffer capacity, the capacity/queue size of the controller and maximum burst assembly delay. From the performance parameters related to the OBS design, an mathematical model to maximize the throughput and minimize the data loss is presented, and then efficient heuristic algorithm is also presented to analyze the sensitivity of the system parameters.
