Random contentions occur in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks because of one-way signaling and lack of optical buffers. These contentions can occur at low loads and are not nec...
— In this paper, we present the architectural design of optical burst-buffers that can truly emulate input queuing and accommodate asynchronous burst operation. The architectural...

Transport Control Protocol (TCP) has served as a reliable, self-regulated, and congestion tolerant transport protocol for many Internet applications. Relatively, limited knowledge ...
— This paper examines burst contention resolution problems in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Since burst contentions take place i) when the network is congested by incre...
