An introduction to optical burst switching
@article{Battestilli2003AnIT, title={An introduction to optical burst switching}, author={Lina Battestilli and Harry G. Perros}, journal={IEEE Commun. Mag.}, year={2003}, volume={41} }
Optical burst switching is a promising solution for all-optical WDM networks. It combines the benefits of optical packet switching and wavelength routing while taking into account the limitations of the current all-optical technology. In OBS, the user data is collected at the edge of the network, sorted based on a destination address, and grouped into variable sized bursts. Prior to transmitting a burst, a control packet is created and immediately sent toward the destination in order to set up…
