Abstract:This paper introduces an optimal batch scheduling algorithm for the scheduling of batches of bursts in optical burst switching networks. The algorithm, called BATCHOPT, considers both the requests being processed in the current batch and the requests previously scheduled in the search for an optimal solution. Moreover, an extended version of the JET reservation protocol is proposed for efficiently handling batches of bursts. Results obtained via simulation show that the BATCHOPT algorithm produces good perform… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
