Comparative Account of Bandwidth Efficiency in Optical Burst Switching and Optical Circuit Switching Networks

Abstract: The performance of Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks is compared to that of Optical Circuit Switched (OCS) networks in terms of bandwidth efficiency. Two traffic flow models are employed to investigate the effects of traffic grooming, packetization, buffering and burst assembly on bandwidth efficiency and utilization. Traffic is represented by fluid-flow continuous bit streams in the first model and by packet-based discrete flows in the second model. It is shown that the parameters of traffic characteristi… Show more

“…This work is part of activities that aim at achieving better understanding of the benefits of OBS in terms of bandwidth utilization and exploring its potential for practical deployment in future [1,5,[14][15][16][17][18]. Burst scheduling is key process in OBS, which is perceived as more bandwidth efficient than other switching approaches.…”

“…Several authors have come to compare the OCS and OBS performance. While some have pointed out the benefits of OBS in comparison to OCS with regard to better link utilization [33,38,39], other authors remark that bandwidth savings of OBS over OCS are not always achievable and should not be taken for granted [40]. In fact, in backbone networks with predictable and aggregated bandwidth traffic, circuit switching can achieve higher utilization and cost-savings [41].…”
