4. Introduction
OBS network is a optical communication
network.
Data is transported in variable sized units
called Bursts.
Dynamic nature leads to high network
adaptability and scalability.
Promising solution for all optical network.
Overcomes the complexity of OPS & OCS.

5. OCS (Optical circuit switching)
Light paths are set up between source and
destination nodes
No statistical multiplexing
Inefficient bandwidth utilization when carrying
bursty traffic

6. OPS (Optical packet switching)
High bandwidth utilization due to statistical
multiplexing
Need to buffer packets at intermediate nodes
Not feasible in the near future

7. OPTICAL BURST SWITCHING
Optical network technology.
Implemented using WDM .
Used in core network and viewed as a feasible
compromising b/w OPS & OCS

8. OBS Concept

9. Characteristics
Resources are allocated by using one-pass
reservation.
Burst switching does not require buffering
inside the core network.
Hybrid approach.
Variable length bursts.

10. OBS Building Blocks
Burst assembly: assembly of client layer data into
bursts
Burst reservation protocols: end-to-end burst
transmission scheme
Burst scheduling: assignment of resources at individual
nodes

11. Purpose
To dynamically provision sub-wavelength
granularity by optically combining electronics
and optics.
Used for realizing dynamic end-to-end all
optical communication.
One of the benefit of burst aggregation is it
shapes .

12. Advantages
More efficient band width utilization
Remove throughput limitation.
Reducing processing requirements.
Core network energy consumption

13. Disadvantages
