Abstract

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising switching technology for the next generation all-optical networks. An OBS network without wavelength converters and fiber delay lines can be implemented simply and cost-effectively using the existing technology. However, this kind of networks suffers from a relatively high burst loss probability at the OBS core nodes. To overcome this issue and consolidate OBS networks with QoS provisioning capabilities, we propose an absolute QoS differentiation scheme, called Absolute Fair Quality of service Differentiation (AFQD), which is based on a wavelength partitioning scheme, called Optimization Topology-aware Wavelength Partitioning scheme (OTWP). AFQD is the first absolute QoS provisioning scheme that guarantees loss-free transmission for high priority traffic inside the OBS network. Simulation results show that AFQD not only guarantees loss-free transmission for high priority traffic but also substantially decreases the loss probability of best effort traffic to a remarkable level compared to the existing schemes.
