A Framework for the Analysis of Delay Jitter in Optical Packet Switched Networks

Out of order delivery and/or delay jitter are typical phenomena occurring in networks adopting a packet transfer mode and may have a relevant impact on the behavior of higher layer protocols. In this paper an original framework is proposed to analyze these phenomena in optical packet-switched networks that employ the wavelength and the time dimensions to solve congestion. This framework is the first step toward a deeper understanding of the interaction between transport networks and higher layers behaviors.
