Burst
Switch
Offset
Time
Generally, ….
• Offset time between control packet & burst is 1-5 microsecs
• Burst ranges in time from 1 microsec to 100 millisecs
• Control packet has a lower bit rate than the data payload

Monitoring in OBS Systems
• Monitoring includes;
- Power
- Wavelength
- Optical signal-to-noise ratio
- Distortion: CD, PMD, nonlinearities

Load
• (5,3) setup gives a higher throughput than a (4,4) and (6,2) setup
• Is this scalable to a switch with more number to ports ?

Load
• The throughput efficiency decreases with increase in burst size.
• Buffer size = max. burst size, 3 buffers for 5,3 case.

• Throughput efficiency does not increases with the number
of delay lines
• For an 8 x 8 switch, it is beneficial to have 2 or 3 delay lines

• 3 Buffers and 3 recirculations increase the throughput efficiency
by 27 %
• Throughput efficiency does not increase linearly with number of
delay lines
Key Buffer Results for 8X8 Switch
• (5,3) configuration provides higher throughput than
other configurations.
