Application of Internet traffic characterization to all-optical networks

In this paper we present an analysis of several large Internet traffic traces and focus on large transfers that are suitable to send through all-optical links featuring burst switching technologies. We analyze the payload size for such optical bursts and the possible impact in network performance.
