一种用于光组播冲突解决的节点结构及其调度策略

光分组在核心节点处的冲突解决问题是实现全光 组播分组交换的关键。本文提出了一种新型的解决光组播冲突的节 点结构,用于冲突解决的部分包括输出共享的网络编码模块和光纤延迟线(FDL)环 形反馈共享缓存(FDL-LSFB)模块。网络编码 模块将异或网络编码作为冲突解决方式,利用全光异或门将冲突组播进行网络编码并且改变 编码后分组波长,从而避免波长 冲突。而FDL-LSFB模块由子交换矩阵和FDL缓存组连接成环状,且冲突组 播可从任意子交换矩阵进出缓存模块, 使用少数的FDL可以提供大容量的光缓存、提高FDL利用率。针对FDL-LSFB模块冲突组播调 度问题,为减小缓存时延,设计了最小缓存长度级联控制算法(MLCBST),进而提出冲突光 组播的总调度策略。仿真结果表明,本文提出的组播节点结构和调度策略在降低丢包率(PLP)和减小缓存时延方面具有明显的效果。     

基于同波长光纤延迟线集光突发交换结构及其性能分析

由于光突发交换机制本身就避免了光缓存的使用，但是现实中，光突发包之间竞争以及提供优先级服务又依靠光纤延迟线来解决。为此，我们设计了应用光纤延迟线的光突发交换网络核心节点结构。为了避免光纤延迟线色散引起的突发包输入排队缓存偏移，在该结构中设计了同波长光纤延迟线集。采用了空分交换矩阵，避免了波长转换的需要。为了有效运行该交换结构，我们提出了输入排队与自适应光缓存调度算法，而该算法不仅仅适用于光突发交换，也适合于光纤延迟线得到普遍应用的光分组交换。该调度算法能够提供优先级服务，避免队头阻塞，对该调度算法建立了严格的理论分析模型，并进行了仿真。仿真结果表明，与传统的延迟线竞争解决方案相比，这一调度算法能够改善交换性能1到2个数量级，是利用光纤延迟线解决光突发交换中竞争问题的一个较佳方案。

Optimized Combination of Converter Pools and FDL Buffers for Contention Resolution in Optical Burst Switching

Optical burst switching (OBS) has attracted interest as a transport network architecture for the future optical Internet. As OBS relies on statistical multiplexing efficient contention resolution is a key issue in order to achieve a low burst loss probability. First, this paper discusses options and key design parameters for contention resolution in OBS. Then, it evaluates the performance of OBS nodes which employ shared wavelength converter pools and simple fiber delay line (FDL) buffers. Finally, optimized strategies for the order of probing a wavelength converter pool and an FDL buffer for contention resolution are presented and compared. It is shown that these strategies can be used to optimize performance for a given, for example, minimal cost, dimensioning of the wavelength converter pool and the FDL buffer.

An adaptive load-aware burst assembly scheme to achieve optimal performance of FDL buffers in OBS networks

Optical burst switching (OBS) is regarded as one of the most promising switching technologies for next generation optical networks. Contention resolution of data bursts is a critical mission to implement practical OBS. The use of fiber delay line (FDL) buffers has received a lot of attention as a fundamental but effective solution to resolve burst contention. Several studies have investigated the way to achieve the optimal performance of FDL buffers at a single-node level. However, this article studies how to achieve the best performance of OBS networks with FDL buffers under varying traffic condition at a network level. For this purpose, we propose an adaptive load-aware burst assembly (ALBA) scheme, which adaptively adjusts the size threshold of burst assembler optimized to the current network traffic load. A piggybacking method used to deliver the traffic-load information from core nodes to ingress edge nodes accelerates the adaptiveness of the proposed scheme by reducing the update time of the size threshold. The effectiveness of the ALBA scheme is proved by comparing with No-FDL case and fixed size-threshold cases under changing traffic-load environment from extensive simulation tests.

Service differentiation scheme in OBS networks

In order to achieve service differentiation, especially loss differentiation, in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, we propose a dynamic fiber delay line (FDL) partitioning algorithm, which divides FDLs into several groups over a feed-forward output buffering architecture. In the proposed scheme, a plurality of traffic classes and FDL groups can be considered, and each FDL group is assigned to traffic classes, so that the target loss probabilities of classes are guaranteed. Also, the optimal number of FDLs for each FDL group by the proposed algorithm is decided in Poisson traffic environments. The extensive simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic FDL partitioning algorithm for the loss differentiation in OBS networks.

A two-moment performance analysis of optical burst switched networks with shared fibre delay lines in a feedback configuration

Fibre delay lines (FDLs) can substantially reduce the burst loss in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks and share-per-node FDL configurations can provide a more cost-efficient solution compared to architectures where delay lines are shared per port. Nevertheless, mathematical performance analysis of this configuration is more difficult due to traffic correlations arising from the shared resource. In this paper, an approximate two-moment traffic model is developed for quantifying end-to-end burst blocking probability in networks of OBS switches with share-per-node FDLs. The two-moment approach can improve model accuracy over more usual Poisson network analysis methods and additionally allows the characteristics of offered load to be taken into account. The accuracy of the proposed method is shown to be favourable, when compared to discrete-event simulations of an OBS network.     

A performance study on optical burst switched networks: the ring topology

Existing performance studies on optical burst switched (OBS) networks have been focusing on channel blocking, i.e., when the required wavelength is not available on a link along a burst’s route. However, we identify another type of blocking as the receiver blocking, i.e., when the receiver at a burst’s destination node is occupied by another burst. Receiver blocking may account for the much larger part of total burst blocking. Receiver blocking has been largely ignored in existing research. In this paper we propose using multiple receivers or fiber delay lines (FDL) in front of the receivers in order to reduce the receiver blocking probability. Extensive simulation results on bi-directional OBS rings are presented to illustrate the problem and the performance of our proposed approaches. The results indicate that receiver blocking can be almost eliminated by using as little as three receivers and can be reduced by using a FDL of small length. To our knowledge, this is the first performance study that covers both channel and receiver blocking for OBS networks.     

在光缓存器中节省光延迟线的技术

使用光纤延迟线(FDL)是构造全光缓存器的基本手段.但在当前提出的全光缓存器设计中,FDL利用率即缓存容量与所使用的FDL总长度之比是相当低的(通常为2/N,其中N为输入端口数).为了解决这个问题,提出了两种新的FDL组织形式:线性结构和树状结构,用于代替传统设计方法中功能相同的FDL模块.这种方法可以应用在多种光缓存器设计中,将FDL利用率提升至一个与N无关的常量或是1/log2N,节省效果是十分显著的.     

Feasibility analysis for service differentiation using an FDL bank in OBS networks

The effectiveness of the scheme is validated by numerical analysis and extensive simulations. Especially, the feasibility conditions for the service differentiation scheme, which are considered as the minimum number of FDLs for each sub-FDL group, are displayed. The feasibility conditions are derived numerically, and are verified through extensive simulations. The results of extensive simulations show that the proposed scheme and the feasibility conditions are valid for service differentiation in OBS networks.
