Presently, optical burst switching (OBS) technology is under study as a promising solution for the backbone of the optical Internet in the near future because OBS eliminates the optical buffer problem at the switching node with the help of no optical/electro/optical conversion and guarantees class of service without any buffering. To implement the OBS network, there are a lot of challenging issues to be solved. The edge router, burst offset time management, and burst assembly mechanism are critical issues. In addition, the core router needs data burst and control header packet scheduling, a protection and restoration mechanism, and a contention resolution scheme. In this paper, we focus on the burst assembly mechanism. We present a novel data burst generation algorithm that uses hysteresis characteristics in the queueing model for the ingress edge node in optical burst switching networks. Simulation with Poisson and self‐similar traffic models shows that this algorithm adaptively changes the data burst size according to the offered load and offers high average data burst utilization with a lower timer operation. It also reduces the possibility of a continuous blocking problem in the bandwidth reservation request, limits the maximum queueing delay, and minimizes the required burst size by lifting up data burst utilization for bursty input IP traffic. 相似文献

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising switching technology to exploit the potential benefits of optical communication and, at the same time, support statistical multiplexing of data traffic at a fine granularity. To quantify its benefits, the paper describes several typical burst assembly algorithms and studies their impact on the assembled burst traffic characteristics as well as the performance of TCP traffic. Also described is a proactive burst scheduling algorithm, called burst overlap reduction algorithm (BORA), which schedules locally assembled bursts in such a way as to reduce burst contention at downstream nodes in OBS networks. Furthermore, to provide analytical insights into performance evaluation of OBS networks, a burst loss model at an OBS node and its extension to different reservation protocols are presented. 相似文献

We propose new burst assembly schemes and fast reservation (FR) protocols for Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks that are based on traffic prediction. The burst assembly schemes aim at minimizing (for a given burst size) the average delay of the packets incurred during the burst assembly process, while the fast reservation protocols aim at further reducing the end-to-end delay of the data bursts. The burst assembly techniques use a linear prediction filter to estimate the number of packet arrivals at the ingress node in the following interval, and launch a new burst into the network when a certain criterion, different for each proposed scheme, is met. The fast reservation protocols use prediction filters to estimate the expected length of the burst and the time needed for the burst assembly process to complete. A Burst Header Packet (BHP) packet carrying these estimates is sent before the burst is completed, in order to reserve bandwidth at intermediate nodes for the time interval the burst is expected to pass from these nodes. Reducing the packet aggregation delay and the time required to perform the reservations, reduces the total time needed for a packet to be transported over an OBS network and is especially important for real-time applications. We evaluate the performance of the proposed burst assembly schemes and show that a number of them outperform the previously proposed timer-based, length-based and average delay-based burst assembly schemes. We also look at the performance of the fast reservation (FR) protocols in terms of the probability of successfully establishing the reservations required to transport the burst. 相似文献

OBS网络中一种基于突发包优先级分割的可控重传方案 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
在光突发交换(OBS)网络中,突发包会由于竞争OBS核心节点输出端口的有限波长资源而发生冲突。突发包重传能够在一定程度上减少由于突发包在核心节点冲突而导致的数据损失,但重传次数的增加可能会加重网络负荷,反而增加数据丢失率。并且,在多业务存在的OBS网络中,重传方案需要能够实现区分服务以保证网络的服务质量(QoS)。据此,本文提出一种基于突发包优先级分割的可控重传方案,在实施优先级分割的同时,根据网络负荷赋予每次重传不同的概率,并对重传次数加以控制。最后,仿真分析了路径阻塞率和不同优先级业务的字节丢失率(ByLP,byte loss probability)性能。 相似文献

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising solution for building terabit optical routers and realizing IP over WDM. In this paper, we describe the basic concept of OBS and present a general architecture of optical core routers and electronic edge routers in the OBS network. The key design issues related to the OBS are also discussed, namely, burst assembly (burstification), channel scheduling, burst offset-time management, and some dimensioning rules. A nonperiodic time-interval burst assembly mechanism is described. A class of data channel scheduling algorithms with void filling is proposed for optical routers using a fiber delay line buffer. The LAUC-VF (latest available unused channel with void filling) channel scheduling algorithm is studied in detail. Initial results on the burst traffic characteristics and on the performance of optical routers in the OBS network with self-similar traffic as inputs are reported in the paper. 相似文献

Optical burst switching (OBS) is the most favourable switching paradigm for future all‐optical networks. Burst assembly is the first process in OBS and it consists of aggregating clients packets into bursts. Assembled bursts wait for an offset time before being transmitted to their intended destinations. Offset time is used to allow burst control packet reserve required resources prior to burst arrival. Burst assembly process and offset‐time create extra delay in OBS networks. To make OBS suitable for real time applications, this extra latency needs to be controlled. This paper proposes and evaluates a novel offset time and burst assembly scheme to address this issue. Constant bit rate (CBR) traffic that has stringent end‐to‐end delay QoS requirements is used in this study. The proposed scheme is called hybrid offset‐time and burst assembly algorithm (H‐OTBA). The objective of the paper is achieved by controlling maximum burst transfer delay parameters of CBR. The proposed scheme was evaluated via network simulation. Simulation results demonstrate that, H‐OTBA has effectively reduced end‐to‐end delay for CBR traffic compared with current solutions. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Optical switching technology can be categorized into optical circuit switching (OCS), optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS). OCS is suitable for large amounts of data transmission; however, the channel utilization is inefficient when the traffic flows are intermittent. OPS can be easily adapted to any higher layer and is suitable for bursty traffic, but it requires a highly complex technology and optical buffer. The new switching paradigm, OBS, can provide higher bandwidth utilization and meanwhile avoid the complexity in OPS technology.In this paper, we investigate how the quality of service (QoS) can be guaranteed and reliable transmission can be supported in the OBS-based Internet backbone. We propose the adjustable-time-counter-based (ATCB) burst assembly and the non-real time packet retransmission mechanisms and apply them in the ingress router of the OBS Internet backbone to guarantee the quality of real time applications and lossless requirement of non-real time services. Moreover, traffic shaped is performed for real time packets in the egress router so that the real time property is preserved with a low jitter. Simulation results show that the burst blocking probability using the ATCB burst assembly is improved, compared with the time-counter-based (TCB) and burst-length-threshold-based (BLTB) mechanisms. The delay, loss and jitter of real time service conform to the QoS requirement. Meanwhile, the delay of non-real time service also falls in the acceptable range. 相似文献

This article presents a comprehensive study of burst assembly in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. This investigation
aims to provide a unified study of burst assembly algorithms. After analyses of conventional assembly algorithms, we present
an adaptive burst assembly algorithm: data-length time-lag product assembly algorithm. Numerical results show that the proposed
algorithm takes the real-time traffic state into account to adapt burst length and its injected intervals. It obtains a more
acceptable performance. Moreover, we investigated the impact of burst assembly applied at the edge of OBS networks. We analyze
the Hurst parameter of the input traffic to the output traffic that results from the burst assembly. Two formulas are presented
to describe changes of the Hurst parameter. Theoretical results are validated through extensive simulations in time-based,
length-based, and adaptive assembly algorithms, respectively. 相似文献

Burst assembly mechanism is one of the fundamental factors that determine the performance of an optical burst switching (OBS)
network. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the number of burstifiers on TCP performance for an OBS network. The
goodput of TCP flows between an ingress node and an egress node traveling through an optical network is studied as the number
of assembly buffers per destination varies. First, the burst-length independent losses resulting from the contention in the
core OBS network using a non-void-filling burst scheduling algorithm, e.g., Horizon, are studied. Then, burst-length dependent
losses arising as a result of void-filling scheduling algorithms, e.g., LAUC-VF, are studied for two different TCP flow models:
FTP-type long-lived flows and variable size short-lived flows. Simulation results show that for both types of scheduling algorithms,
both types of TCP flow models, and different TCP versions (Reno, Newreno and Sack), TCP goodput increases as the number of
burst assemblers per egress node is increased for an OBS network employing timer-based assembly algorithm. The improvement
from one burstifier to moderate number of burst assemblers is significant (15–50% depending on the burst loss probability,
per-hop processing delay, and the TCP version), but the goodput difference between moderate number of buffers and per-flow
aggregation is relatively small, implying that an OBS edge switch should use moderate number of assembly buffers per destination
for enhanced TCP performance without substantially increasing the hardware complexity.

In transport control protocol (TCP) over optical burst switching (OBS) networks, TCP window size and OBS parameters, including assembly period and burst dropping probability, will impact the network performance. In this paper, a parameter window data dropping probability(WDDP), is defined to analyze the impact of the assembly and the burst loss on the network performance in terms of the round trip time and the throughput. To reduce the WDDP without introducing the extra assembly delay penalty, we propose a novel TCP window based flow-oriented assembly algorithm dynamic assembly period (DAP). In the traditional OBS assembly algorithms, the packets with the same destination and class of service (CoS) are assembled into the same burst, i.e., the packets from different sources will be assembled into one burst. In that case, one burst loss will influence multiple TCP sources. In DAP, the packets from one TCP connection are assembled into bursts, which can avoid the above situation. Through comparing the two consecutive burst lengths, DAP can track the variation of TCP window dynamically and update the assembly period for the next assembly. In addition, the ingress node architecture for the flow-oriented assembly is designed. The performance of DAP is evaluated and compared with that of fixed assembly period (FAP) over a single TCP connection and multiple TCP connections. The results show that DAP performs better than FAP at almost the whole range of burst dropping probability. 相似文献

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) combines the benefits of Optical Packet Switching and Optical Circuit Switching technologies to provide an efficient, yet cost effective, method for data transmission in an all-optical, bufferless, core network. While most studies on OBS has concentrated on the core OBS network, we contribute new studies for the buffer requirement of an OBS edge node. The buffer usage for OBS systems only arises in the edge nodes since they contain an array of assemblers which combines electronic data with a common destination into an OBS burst stream for transmission in an all-optical bufferless core network. Specifically, we present two analytical results for buffer usage in an OBS edge node: one for Poisson traffic and the other for self-similar traffic input. The results show that the aggregated traffic from many assemblers inherits the characteristics of the source input traffic. This means that the output traffic approaches Poisson if the input traffic is Poisson, and the output traffic remains self-similar if the input is self-similar. These results lead to the following important design issues when dimensioning buffer requirements in an OBS edge node: if the traffic input is Poisson, the M/G/m model is the model to use for obtaining the upper bound on buffer usage in an OBS edge node; and for the case of self-similar traffic, Brichet’s method can be used to provide the upper and lower bound. 相似文献

Among the various issues lying in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burstification, i.e., assembling multiple IP packets
into bursts, is an important one. Between the two important aspects related to burst assembly, the burst assembly algorithm
aspect has been extensively studied in the literature. However, as far as we know, there is no research about the burstification
queue management (BQM) aspect, which refers to how many burstification queues (BQ) we should set at each OBS edge node and
how to manage these BQs. Suppose there are G destinations (egress edge nodes) and the OBS network provides S different quality of service (QoS) classes. Traditionally, it is simply regarded that each ingress edge node needs G· S queues to sort incoming packets, one for each possible destination and QoS class. For simplicity, we call this policy the
static dedicate BQM (SDB) policy. The SDB policy, though simple, lacks scalability since we have to add S BQs at each OBS
edge node if an extra OBS edge node is added to the OBS network. To solve this problem, we propose in this paper two BQM policies:
quasi-static BQM (QSB) policy and dynamic BQM (DB) policy. For the QSB policy, we derive the packet loss probability due to
lacking BQs based on a Markov chain, from which we can work out the employed number of BQs for a given packet loss probability.
Based on these results, the scalability of the QSB policy is also studied. With the DB policy, we not only can dynamically
assign BQs for incoming packets, but also can dynamically allocate buffer capacity for each BQ by using a least-mean-square
(LMS)-based linear prediction filter. The performance of the DB policy is investigated by analysis and extensive simulations.
We also compared the performance of the QSB policy and the DB policy. Results from analysis and simulation demonstrate that
the DB policy is the best. 相似文献

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.

We analyze burst assembly process as the main building block of the optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm. The analysis is performed for time-based, volume-based, as well as hybrid burst assemblers. Under the assumption that the process of packet arrival to the assembly buffer is Poisson, exact analytical expressions are derived for length and interdeparture time of bursts that are generated by these three classes of assembly algorithms. Furthermore, we consider the issue of generating burst trace, which arises during the performance evaluation of OBS networks through discrete-event simulation. In such a simulation study, a significant part of the simulation time, particularly in the case of a network with a large number of ingress nodes, is used by the implementation of the burst assembly algorithms. This is due to the fact that each data burst is a result of aggregating several short-length packets, which-in a straightforward approach-have to be individually generated and, afterward, ldquomeltedrdquo into the burst. We present a novel approach to fast generation of bursts, which is based on the analytical models that are developed for burst length and burst interdeparture time distributions as well as an efficient generation technique (composition) supporting the generation of these distributions. The analysis is completed by numerical results that validate the accuracy of developed models and demonstrate the speedup gain of using proposed burst generation algorithms. 相似文献

The most important design goal in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks is to reduce burst loss resulting from resource contention.
Especially, the higher the congestion degree in the network is, the higher the burst loss rate becomes. The burst loss performance
can be improved by employing an appropriate congestion control. In this paper, to actively avoid contentions, we propose a
dynamic load-aware congestion control scheme that operates based on the highest (called ‘peak load’) of the loads of all links
over the path between each pair of ingress and egress nodes in an OBS network. We also propose an algorithm that dynamically
determines a load threshold for adjusting burst sending rate, according to the traffic load in a network. Further, a simple
signalling method is developed for our proposed congestion control scheme. The proposed scheme aims to (1) reduce the burst
loss rate in OBS networks and (2) maintain reasonable throughput and fairness. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme
reduces the burst loss rate significantly, compared to existing OBS protocols (with and without congestion control), while
maintaining reasonable throughput and fairness. Simulation results also show that our scheme keeps signalling overhead due
to congestion control at a low level. 相似文献

Given the bufferless nature of Optical Burst- Switched networks, data bursts are either transmitted or dropped; the latter
typically occurs when all the wavelengths of a given output port are occupied. Clearly, the amount of time during which a
given output port is blocked and cannot schedule incoming data bursts is a key performance measure of OBS networks. This work
shows that, under Poissonian burst arrivals, the blocking time distribution of a given output port in an OBS node approaches
the exponential distribution as the number of wavelengths increases. It is further shown that this behavior remains regardless
of the size distribution of incoming bursts, and therefore, regardless of the burst-assembly algorithms employed at the border
nodes. Finally, this result is also applied to the characterization of the amount of overspill traffic, that is, the number
of bursts that arrive within a blocked period, and therefore must be either dropped or diverted over alternative routes. 相似文献
