Implementation of a hybrid burst contention resolution algorithm for optical burst switching networks

Optical burst switching is one of the optical switching technologies beside optical circuit and optical packet switching. It is considered as the optical switching paradigm that can be used in the near future before the technology that will support optical packet switching becomes mature. Optical bu...

description Optical burst switching is one of the optical switching technologies beside optical circuit and optical packet switching.
