Node dimensioning in optical burst switching networks

Network dimensioning should be progressed for pursuing the ultimate efficiency of network system resources in order to satisfy target performance. This article studies node dimensioning as a method of resource optimization in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. OBS is a new switching technology for pursuing bufferless transparent optical networks by sending control packets prior to data burst in order to provision resources for the burst. However, the basic assumption of a bufferless node implies burst contention at a core node when more than two bursts attempt to move forward the same output simultaneously. Thus, burst contention is a critical performance metric and this article takes it into account as a constraint on node dimensioning and target performance. In this article, we first present node dimensioning issues for OBS networks. Two constraints from the transport plane and the control plane which affect burst contention are then introduced. The effect of the burst assembly process on node dimensioning is also presented. From numerical analysis, the optimal number of wavelengths in a link, which provides the lowest blocking probability, is obtained to suggest a guideline for node dimensioning.     

High-Performance Hybrid-Switching Optical Router for IP over WDM Integration

Because pure electrical routers with their bandwidth limitations can hardly keep up with the tremendous traffic growth in the Internet, optical routers based on various optical switching techniques including optical wavelength switching (OWS), optical burst switching (OBS), and optical packet switching (OPS) have been suggested to cope with this problem. However, because OBS and OPS are both in their early experimental phase and OWS only provides coarse granularity switching, a hybrid-switching optical router with combined OWS and electrical packet switching is a necessity in order to accommodate the entire multi-granularity traffic with multi-service requirements in a cost-effective manner. Its coordination capability of optical circuit switching and electrical packet switching enables efficient/intelligent usage of network resources. In this paper, we first review research and developments of such IP routers employing optical switching/interconnection techniques and examine how these techniques can be used inside routers to scale node capacity and to improve optical Internet performance. We also present and study the performance of a terabit optical router with an optical-electrical hybrid-switching fabric. The node architecture is based on the idea of IP over WDM integration with Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS). The network-level performance evaluations show that the proposed hybrid-switching optical router is a cost-effective solution for building the next generation GMPLS-based multi-granularity optical Internet.     

On the design of node architectures and MAC protocols for optical burst-switched ring networks

Efficient multiple-token-based MAC protocols have been proposed for optical burst-switched (OBS) unidirectional ring networks using a TT-TR-based node architecture in our previous research. However, the unidirectional OBS ring network is difficult to scale to larger networks. As wavelengths accessibilities are dominated by tokens, network performance is restricted by the frequency of capturing a token. If the network is too large, it takes a long time for tokens to rotate. Thus, a destination queue may wait for a long time to be served, which results in large queuing delays and inefficiency of network resource utilization. In order to improve network efficiency and scalability for OBS ring networks using multiple tokens, this work is extended to a bidirectional ring system that uses the tunable transmitter and tunable receiver (TT-TR)-based node architecture with two pairs of transceivers, so that each queue can be served by tokens from both directions. Furthermore, two kinds of node architectures differing in sharing the two pairs of transceivers, either shared or not, are proposed. Then, two MAC protocols considering different queue scheduling algorithms are proposed for the ring network using the proposed node architectures, in order to use the network resources more efficiently. They are improved from general round-robin (GRR) and termed as half-ring round-robin (HfRR) and co-work round-robin (CoRR), respectively. The network performance of the two proposed node architectures and the two proposed MAC protocols for the networks using them as well as the network scalability are evaluated with the OPNET simulator.     

OBS网络中的多BHP延迟调度算法

光突发交换 (Optical Burst Switching,OBS) 是下一代光网络中的有效核心交换技术之一。在OBS网络中,核心节点的调度方案是影响网络交换性能的重要因素。如何有效地对突发分组 (Burst) 进行合理调度,以减少丢包率正是关键问题所在。该文提出了一种多控制分组 (Burst Header Packet,BHP) 延迟调度算法,对于一个收集周期内到达的多个BHP所对应的突发数据,按照一定的方式对它们进行集中调度,实现对已预约资源的更改,使调度结果得到了优化。该算法根据不同的网络应用,可细化为4种具体的算法实现,以适用于不同的应用场景。仿真结果表明,该文提出的调度算法和已有算法相比,能够优化对突发分组的调度,提高对信道资源的有效使用,从而降低交换网络的丢包率。     

OBS网络中一种基于突发包优先级分割的可控重传方案

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。
