Optical Burst Switching (OBS): A New Area in Optical Networking

The Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a growing result to the technology issue that could achieve a feasible network in future. They are featured with the ability to meet the bandwidth requirement of those applications that demand intensive bandwidth. There are more domains opening up in the OBS that clearly shows their advantages and their capability to face the future network traffic. However, the concept of OBS is still far from perfection facing issues in case of security threat. The transfer of optical switching paradigm to optical burst switching faces serious downfall in the fields of Burst aggregation, routing, authentication, dispute resolution and quality of service (QoS). Optical Internet has become the main conduit for all types of virtually sharing communications around the world as it continues its phenomenal growth of in traffic volumes and reaches using dedicated optical routers. Optical burst switching (OBS) is a predominant switching technology for Optical network to cater the huge bandwidth demand.
