A Multi-layer Analysis on Reordering in Optical Burst Switched Networks
Keywords

Abstract
In this paper we introduce a generic burst reordering model and evaluate analytically reordering characteristic on both burst and packet layer in an OBS network. We apply the packet reordering definition and reordering metrics newly specified by IETF IPPM WG for precise characterization of burst and packet reordering. The results of the analysis can be used directly for reordering buffer dimensioning and estimation of TCP throughput.
