Abstract-In this paper, we show that prediction algorithms in the least mean square error sense prove better in a burst rather than in a packet switching network. For the latter, further information about the packet arrival distribution within the prediction interval is required. Regarding burst switching, we compare Optical Burst Switching networks with and without linear prediction to conclude that linear prediction provides a significant improvement in end-to-end latency with low bandwidth waste.

The European Traffic Observatory is a European Union VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with high-precision, GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. This paper describes the system and node architectures, together with the management system. On the other hand, we also present the testing platform that is currently being used for testing ETOMIC nodes before actual deployment. †
