Resources Reservation in the Segment of Optical Network with Obs

Abstract

The growing demands on transmission quality, flexibility and granularity can be achieved by powerful reservation protocols which are an essential part of networks with burst switching. In today's high-speed optical networks there exist a lot of reservation protocols. In this article we present a design of a new reservation protocol called Search&Compare. This reservation protocol is designed according to the well-known Segment-based Robust Fast Optical Reservation Protocol. Search&Compare is parallel-segment based and uses parallel link reservation. Our goal is to describe the behavior of reservation protocol in the transmission with setting the priority for incoming bursts with the QoS utilization.
