Abstract:
This paper presents a performance evaluation study that compares Optical Circuit Switching (OCS), Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and OCS/OBS networks. This study considers two types of traffic flow, long (5GB) and short (50MB). The main contribution of this paper is comparing such switching paradigms in terms of the time to successfully deliver a flow. Besides, we identify the problem of blocking due to outdated information when OCS network works under short data flow.
