We propose and evaluate a novel scheme, referred to as Bimodal Burst Switching (BBS) scheme, for Optical Burst Switching (OBS) star networks, which can be used in Grid networks. The main feature of this scheme is that it has zero burst loss and a large geographical coverage. Using simulation techniques we show that the proposed scheme provides high bandwidth and outperforms OBS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
