Differentiated service in OBS networks using a dynamic FDL bank partitioning algorithm.
In order to solve the differentiated service problem in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, we propose a dynamic fiber delay line (FDL) bank partitioning algorithm, which divides a FDL bank into several groups, using a feed-forward output buffering architecture. In the analysis, three classes and groups are considered for traffic and FDL, respectively, and each group is assigned to each class. This paper shows that the loss differentiation in OBS networks is easily accomplished in Poisson traffic environments when our dynamic algorithm is adopted.
