Abstract

The maximum traffic load that can be supported by a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical burst switched (OBS) network with dynamic wavelength allocation is studied. It is shown that it depends on the requirements of the class of service and on the efficiency of the dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithm employed. Two methods to build the bursts are presented as well as their influence on the maximum traffic load that can be supported.Key wordsOptical NetworksOptical Burst SwitchingEdge delayRouting and Wavelength AssignmentTraffic load
