The intermediate node architecture of the mesh network can be the same with current wavelength switching Wave- length Division Multiplexing （WDM） net- works, and thus can reuse existing deployed infrastructure. We employ a novel Optical Time Slot Interchange （OTSI） at the source nodes for the first time to mitigate the burst conten- tion and to increase the bandwidth utilization. Time- and wavelength-domain reuse in the OTSI significantly saves optical components and red- uces blocking probability.展开更多
文摘In this paper, we propose an optical burst network architecture supporting the ge- netic mesh topology. The intermediate node architecture of the mesh network can be the same with current wavelength switching Wave- length Division Multiplexing （WDM） net- works, and thus can reuse existing deployed infrastructure. We employ a novel Optical Time Slot Interchange （OTSI） at the source nodes for the first time to mitigate the burst conten- tion and to increase the bandwidth utilization. Time- and wavelength-domain reuse in the OTSI significantly saves optical components and red- uces blocking probability.
