Just-in-Time Optical Burst Switching Implementation in the ATDnet All-Optical Networking Testbed
Overview This paper describes the architecture of an Optical Burst Switched (OBS) demonstration network overlaying the ATDnet transparent all-optical testbed, and experiments performed to date in the testbed. The OBS overlay uses a simple hardware-based protocol embedded in OBS network controllers to manage commercial off-the-shelf DWDM switches. Data paths are all-optical and completely transparent, and can carry analog or digital traffic in any format, data rate, and modulation scheme. Experiments with latency- and jitter-sensitive HDTV transmission, petabyte file transfers, and immersive real time visualization of satellite imagery over the OBS network are ongoing. Parallel research on transport protocols, QoS-aware routing protocols, adaptors for an OBS LAN, and a network management architecture will be applied as completed.
