  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a cost minimisation problem for an optical burst switching network with share-per-node fibre delay lines. We solve the problem by means of a genetic algorithm and approximate non-Poisson traffic flows with a two-moment matching method. Emphasis is on the sensitivity of the network hardware cost to the offered traffic characteristics.
