“…In the traditional labeled OBS (LOBS) network [10] and the testbed we implemented [11], the multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) based control plane conducts open shortest path first (OSPF)-based routing and resource reservation protocol (RSVP)-based resource reservation in a distributed manner. That is to say, each node is able to compute the route and process the RSVP-based signaling messages for end-to-end label switched path (LSP) provisioning.…”

In the current IP/optical multi-layer networks, the control approaches for IP and optical domains are separated, which is inconvenient for the end-to-end service provisioning. Therefore, the investigation of a unified control plane for multi-layer networks is a very important issue for network carriers, since it can simplify the network manageability, improve the network agility and reduce the operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX). The OpenFlow protocol, which has been proposed recently, provides a potential solution to address such an issue. On the other hand, the multi-layer optical burst switching (OBS) /wavelength switched optical network (WSON) has been proposed as one of the promising paradigms for future optical Internet, and the respective control plane for OBS and WSON layers under an overlay model has been intensively investigated in our previous works. In light of this, in this paper, we experimentally present an OpenFlow-based unified control plane for OBS/WSON multi-layer optical switched networks. The protocol extensions and design details of the OpenFlow-controlled OBS/WSON are discussed. By using two different signaling approaches (with and without confirmation mechanism during the lightpath provisioning period), we successfully demonstrate the overall feasibility of a unified control plane for OBS/WSON networks, and the performance of two signaling solutions is quantitatively evaluated in terms of end-to-end signaling latency and packet loss rate.

“…This makes FAST TCP subject to false congestion identification and may seriously impair the TCP throughput. Accordingly, experimental study in [11] indicated that FAST TCP is not suitable for OBS networks. Motivated by the interesting scenario, this paper investigates the FAST TCP over OBS networks.…”

Abstract-FAST TCP is important for promoting dataintensive applications since it can cleverly react to both packet loss and delay for detecting network congestion. This paper provides a continuous time model and extensive stability analysis of FAST TCP congestion-control mechanism in bufferless Optical Burst Switched Networks (OBS). The paper first shows that random burst contentions are essential to stabilize the network, but cause throughput degradation in FAST TCP flows when a burst with all the packets from a single round is dropped. Second, it shows that FAST TCP is vulnerable to burst delay and fails to detect network congestion due to the little variation of round-trip time, thus unstable. Finally it shows that introducing extra delays by implementing burst retransmission stabilizes FAST TCP over OBS. The paper proves that FAST TCP is not stable over barebone OBS. However, it is locally, exponentially, and asymptotically stable over OBS with burst retransmission.
