A Novel Scheme for Traffic Monitoring in Optical Burst-Switched Networks

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) technology offers a promising solution for the next generation Internet backbone. One of the main aspects in the deployment of OBS services is the development of an optical traffic/performance monitoring scheme allowing the provision of user-specified quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we develop a performance monitoring scheme for an OBS network architecture suitable for contention resolution and QoS provisioning. It mainly addresses congestion control and QoS monitoring. Simulation experiments are also performed to validate the proposed scheme and analyze its performances.
