Impact of Segments Aggregation on TCP Reno Flows in Optical Burst Switching Networks

Tags:
optical networking

Overview This paper studies the Optical Burst Switching (OBS) paradigm for the support of the TCP flows in an All Optical Network (AON). It analyzes the TCP send rate, i.e. the amount of data sent per time unit, taking into account of the burst assembly mechanism, called burstification process; the burst loss events inside the OBS network. The goals of the paper are to investigate the effect of the variation of the burstification period and to derive some general guidelines about the dimensioning of the burstification period.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: No more copper - fibre rules

Around seven to 10 years later optical fibre was everywhere in the UK. This past week I have been at my first optical technology conference in a decade and the biggest non-issue being extensively discussed was still 'fibre to the home' (FTTH).

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
