OBS vs. OpMiGua - A Comparative Performance Evaluation

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Migration Capable Networks with Service Guarantees (OpMiGua) are two all-optical network architectures. In this paper we compare both by means of a quantitative performance evaluation based on simulations. In order to achieve a maximum of comparability both models are chosen as similar as possible and especially are fed with identical traffic. Results show differences regarding loss probabilities at which OpMiGua has a better performance.
