Abstract :
This paper investigates several buffering schemes for variable IP packets length in optical packet switching (OPS). Three new schemes with sorting abilities according to the packet´s length as well as the capability of finding the minimum buffer occupancy are introduced in order to compare with the common round-robin scheme. The computed results show that there is a trade off between packets drops probability and information loss probability for the investigated schemes. It can be concluded that the bigger the Hust parameter of self-similar traffic the higher probabilities for the packets to drop and information loss but vice versa when more wavelengths are used.
