Optical burst switching for service differentiation in the next-generation optical Internet.

Optical burst switching for service differentiation in the next-generation optical Internet.

In an effort to eliminate the electronic bottleneck, new optical switches/routers (hardware) are being built for the next-generation optical Internet where IP runs over an all-optical WDM layer. However, important issues yet to be addressed in terms of protocols (software) are how to develop a new p...
