Controllable bandwidth allocation in optical burst-switched networks

A novel, simple and controllable bandwidth allocation scheme, called bandwidth on Demand (BoD), is proposed for optical burst-switched network in this paper. It assures every service class to consume bandwidth no more than its granted percentage by examining the bandwidth usage of each class periodically. The burst loss ratios under arbitrary input loads are theoretically analyzed as well as numerically simulated. The theoretical descriptions accord with the simulated results very well. The scheme can be used as an effective scheme of bandwidth allocation and management.
