Optical burst switching (OBS) is an optical switching technology; it uses an optical fiber's high bandwidth potential to transfer huge amounts of data in the form of huge packets, which are more commonly referred to as bursts. High burst loss brought on by numerous burst contentions is a significant problem in OBS. An intelligent fuzzy offset time algorithm (FOT) algorithm is suggested to overcome this problem. This study proposed Intelligent Fuzzy Offset Time (FOT) algorithms that adjust offset time (OT) in accordance with network and traffic conditions. The fuzzy input for FOT is made up of three parameters: burst size, distance, and time that burst spent in queuing. The suggested algorithm is assessed versus the Intelligent OT algorithms using the Five defuzzification techniques (Centroid (CM00), Bisector (BM04), largest of maximum (LM02), smallest of maximum (SM03), and mean of maximum (MM01) when Maximum (M) accumulation technique is used, when using Algebraic Sum (S) aggregation methods (Centroid (CS00), Bisector (BS04), largest of maximum (LS02), smallest of maximum (SS03), and mean of maximum (MS01). Simulation results have shown that FOT LM02, FOT LS02, FOT SM03 and FOT LS02 have effects on reducing BLR (burst loss ratio) and E2E (End-2-End) delayed respectively when compared to other defuzzification techniques algorithms. FOT LM02 and FOT SM03 can be used to intelligently adjust the offset parameter using the incoming traffic load and the three parameters.

<p><span>Optical burst switching (OBS) is a transporting network for the optical internet in the years ahead vision. As OBS depends on statistical multiplexing, the effect of contention resolution is the main issue to achieve a low probability losing of burst. Basically, there are different ways to resolve contentions in the OBS networks like wavelength conversion, deflection routing, burst segmentation and optical buffering using fiber delay lines. Burst segmentation and deflection routing as well as fiber delay lines technologies, are discussed among the various accessible conflict resolution techniques in this study. However, the main aim of this study is to demonstrate that, the performance of fiber delay line (FDL) is better than other techniques to resolve contention by comparing the performance of these different schemes based on burst losing probabilities and the data handling capability. To evaluate the performance, appropriate mathematical formulae were used. Under the MATLAB environment, the performance was measured based on the probability of burst loss versus incoming traffic (load). The outcomes suggest that deflection routing outperforms fiber delay lines and burst segmentation in the OBS network in terms of resolve the contention. </span></p>
