Optical burst switching — (OBS) is an optical networking technique that allows dynamic sub wavelength switching of data. OBS is viewed as a compromise between the yet unfeasible full optical packet switching (OPS) and the mostly static optical circuit switching (OCS). It… … Wikipedia
Optical Burst Switching — (OBS) is an experimental switching paradigm representing an intermediate solution between circuit (wavelength) and packet switching in optical networks. PurposeIts purpose is to dynamically provision sub wavelength granularity by optimally… … Wikipedia

Packet switching — is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable bit rate data streams… … Wikipedia
Optical mesh network — Transport network based on SONET/SDH ring architecture Optical mesh networks are a type of telecommunications network. Transport networks, the underlying optical fiber based layer of telecommunications networks, have evolved from DCS (Digital… … Wikipedia
Offset time — In optical burst switching, offset time is the time between the burst header/control packet. The offset time used in one way reservation schemes allows the network time to schedule the burst and set up resources prior to burst arrival is sent… … Wikipedia
