Improving TCP Performance Over Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) Networks Using Forward Segment Redundancy
Mar 2011
Random contentions occur in Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks because of one-way signaling and lack of optical buffers. These contentions can occur at low loads and are not necessarily an...

TCP Over Optical Burst-Switched Networks With Controlled Burst Retransmission
Mar 2011
For Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks in which TCP is implemented at a higher layer, the loss of bursts can lead to serious degradation of TCP performance. Due to the bufferless nature of OBS,...

Multi-Layer Loss Recovery in TCP Over Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) Networks
Jul 2010
It is well-known that the bufferless nature of OBS networks causes random burst loss even at low traffic loads. When TCP is used over OBS, these random losses make the TCP sender decrease its...

Dynamic Circuits With Lightpath Switching OverWavelength Routed Networks
Nov 2010
In this paper, the authors examine provisioning holding-time-aware dynamic circuits using a technique called Light-Path Switching (LPS). Instead of using the same lightpath for the duration of the...
