Abstract
Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed to achieve the balance between the coarse-grained circuit switching and the fine-grained packet/cell switching, thereby combining the best of the two while avoiding their shortcomings. The method is based on one-way reservation protocols in which a data burst follows a corresponding control packet without waiting for an acknowledgement. A dedicated control wavelength is used to provide the `static/physical' links between the protocol entities and to support packet switching between adjacent protocol entities which maintain topology and routing tables.
