Abstract

On the way to bring dynamic in optical transport networks, Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising candidate for a new photonic network architecture. Beside the efforts of building fast optical cross connects, the realization of performant switch controllers is an important task. This paper presents a testbed which allows the development and realization of control systems for OBS core nodes and their performance evaluation. The testbed is working in the laboratory of the author's institute and first measurement results for a Horizon scheduling module are shown.
