An effective BECN /CRN typed deflection routing for QoS guaranteed optical burst switching

In recent years, WDM networks have received much attention as the Internet backbone networks because of the explosive growth of the Internet IP-based traffic. The optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed as an effective optical switching technology in the WDM networks (C. Qiao and M. Yoo, 1999). OBS has the advantages in 1) the high usage rate of the bandwidth, and 2) no necessity of optical buffer. However OBS has the burst-contention problem in the networks. The deflection routing is proposed as one of means to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a new routing method of using deflection routing. In addition, we propose a QoS/CoS control method using a new routing algorithm. Finally, we show the variety of the proposed methods by computer simulations.
